Frequently Asked Questions Where can I use the ABC-RX Select prescription card? Pharmacy location information can be obtained by contacting customer service at 1-888-868-5854. What if my pharmacy doesn't recognize the card? Pharmacies may not be familiar with every prescription program in which they participate. If the pharmacist does not recognize your ABC-RX Select prescription card or if you encounter a problem at the pharmacy, DO NOT leave without having the pharmacy call the toll-free number printed on the back side of the ID card. How much will I pay for my prescriptions? There are co-payments of $10.00 for generic drugs and $20.00 for brand name and select generic drugs. On Non-Preferred Brand Drugs, members pay the MemberHealth network contracted price. What is my average discount on Non-Preferred Drugs? Members are currently receiving an average discount of approximately 19% on brand name drugs. There is no guaranteed percentage savings on every prescription purchase. The price paid depends upon the pharmacy and the type and quantity of drug purchased. Pharmacies, just like other retail stores, compete against each other and may have special prices on some products. When this is the case, we cannot discount the pharmacy's already low price, but a member will receive the advantage of the pharmacy's special pricing. THE MEMBER ALWAYS RECEIVES THE LOWER OF THE ABC-RX SELECT CONTRACT PRICE OR THE PHARMACY'S PRICE. What is a generic drug? Once a patent on a brand name drug expires, other drug companies may make a generic version of the drug, with the approval of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA's standards for quality are the same for all manufacturers. This means the generic drug contains the same active ingredients as the brand name whose patent has expired, and that it’s as safe, potent and effective. How can I keep my prescription drug costs down? The use of generic prescription drugs, whenever available, is most cost effective. Don't be shy - discuss your prescription options with your doctor. Ask whether an alternative, less expensive option would work for your condition. How will I know if there's a generic equivalent available? Simply ask your local pharmacist or call MemberHealth Customer Service Department to find out about generic equivalents for your prescription. Also ask your doctor to prescribe generics whenever possible and appropriate. (Your enrollment packet will include helpful materials you can share with your doctor.)
