Why was I paying less than my copay for some drugs since July and now the cost has increased to the copay?
On July 1, 2009 there was a change in the Plan benefits to allow certain drugs that may cost less than the copay to be charged at the lower rate. Therefore, you may have been paying less than your copay for certain generic drugs since that time. Due to a Legislative update that benefit will change effective 10/1/09 so that your charge for these medications may change. You will never pay more than your stated copay for a medication. Be sure to shop around for your medications since prices may vary at different pharmacies.
