How do I use the Montana University Systems pharmacy program with Eckerd/Ridgeway Pharmacy?
Your local pharmacy should be used for short-term prescriptions or acute medication needs such as antibiotics or pain relief medications. Generally, these prescriptions are for 30 days or less, with less than two refills allowed. There is a $100 deductible per person. After the deductible has been met, you will pay a co-insurance percentage per prescription: 20% for generic, 30% for Plan Preferred Brands and 40% for Non-Preferred Brands. Present your EHS membership card at the pharmacy and their computer system will determine the cost of your prescription. If the pharmacy is not participating, you will pay the full cost and then file a Prescription Drug Program Direct Member Reimbursement Form, available in Human Resource Services. For long term or maintenance medication needs (after a specific course of treatment has been established) either Eckerd Mail Order Pharmacy (called Express Pharmacy Services) in Clearwater, Florida or Ridgeway Pharmacy in Stevensville, MT can be used.
