When you need it
When you enroll in an Accupac medical plan, you automatically receive prescription drug coverage through the CVS Pharmacy. Your Prescription drug plan will be administered through CVS Employers Health effective January 1, 2024. There is a dedicated Customer Care team available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. They can be reached at 844.371.0844.
Save money – use mail order!
The prescription plan also includes the CVS Caremark Mail Service Pharmacy, which allows you to purchase a 90-day supply of medications you take on an ongoing basis (known as maintenance drugs). You don’t have to worry about making a trip to the pharmacy every 30 days, and 90-day supplies typically cost less than three separate 30-day supplies.
To enroll, call Customer Care at 844-371-0844 or register at caremark.com/startnow and follow the guided steps to request a prescription.

Go generic! Keep you and your wallet healthy
Generic drugs are prescription medications that have the same active ingredients, dosage amounts, strength, safety, and quality as brand-name prescription medications.
Yes. Laboratories that produce generic drugs must meet the same high FDA standards as the facilities of brand-name drugs, and all generic drugs are FDA-approved to be therapeutically equivalent to brand-name drugs.
When a new medicine is invented, a patent is filed so that no other company may reproduce that drug. While the patent is current, companies can charge a much higher price for the drug because there is no competition. In addition, companies often spend large amounts of money for advertising and promotion, further increasing the cost of the brand name medication.
When a medication’s patent expires, other companies may produce this drug, creating generic medications. Due to increased competition, and because these other companies rarely spend money on advertising, the price of the generic drug is significantly lower.
The appearance of brand-name drugs is protected by law, so generic drugs will have different shapes, flavors, and/or colors. However, since the active ingredients are the same, they will work the same way in your body as the brand-name drug.
No. Pharmaceutical companies have a patent on their brand name medications, so new drugs will not have a generic equivalent until the patent expires.
Even if your brand name drug is not available in generic form, there may be a different generic drug that could work just as well. Ask your doctor if a therapeutic alternative might be right for you. A generic therapeutic alternative is the equivalent for a different brand-name drug and treats your condition using a different active ingredient. If your doctor agrees, you can feel confident about using the generic therapeutic alternative and feel good about saving money too!
