How is the copayment for prescription drugs determined?
Copayment amounts will depend upon whether the prescription that your physician writes is for a generic or a brand name drug. Prescriptions written for a specific brand-name medication will have a higher copayment. There is also a $50 copayment if you use a retail pharmacy for the third or any subsequent refills of maintenance drugs. Any time the price of the drug is less than the required copayment, you will pay the actual price of the prescription.
