(no benefits will be paid to an individual until the family deductible has been met)
Annual Out-of-Pocket Maximum
In-Network Only Plan: Annual prescription drug out-of-pocket maximum includes prescription deductible, copays and prescription coinsurance. This is separate from the annual medical out-of-pocket maximum.

Eligible prescription expenses within a family can be combined to meet the family out-of-pocket maximum, but no one person can apply more than the individual out-of-pocket maximum amount ($1,500) to the family out-of-pocket maximum ($3,000).

1 In the High Deductible Plan with HSA, you must meet your combined medical/prescription drug deductible before the Program will pay benefits, except for certain preventive drugs. To determine whether your medication is considered preventive, visit www.caremark.com. Your cost for these preventive drugs is the applicable copay or coinsurance, which will count toward your out-of-pocket maximum.
2 The use of generic equivalents whenever possible (through both the retail and CVS Caremark Mail Service programs) is more cost-effective. Ask your medical professional about this distinction. If you or your doctor requests a brand-name drug and a generic alternative is available, you will pay the difference between the cost of the brand-name drug and the generic drug in addition to the copay for the generic drug Pharmacy and/or CVS Caremark Mail Service Dispense as Written (DAW) penalty amounts do not count toward your pharmacy or medical plan's annual deductible or out-of-pocket maximum.
3 Citi does not determine preferred brand-name drugs. Rather, CVS Caremark brings together an independent group of practicing physicians and pharmacists who meet quarterly to review the preferred brand-name formulary list and make determinations based on current clinical information. Call CVS Caremark Customer Care at 1 (844) 214-6601 or visit www.caremark.com for a copy of its Preferred Formulary (updated at least quarterly).
4 You are required to fill a specialty prescription through CVS Specialty Pharmacy. However, specialty prescriptions can be dropped off or picked up at a CVS retail pharmacy (yet, they typically take more time to fill than non-specialty prescriptions). In the event of an emergency, please contact CVS Specialty Pharmacy Services to fill the prescription. You will be charged only the applicable retail/specialty copay.
Note: For the In-Network Only Plan and Choice Plan, pharmacy and/or CVS Caremark Mail Service copays do not count toward your medical plan's annual deductible or out-of-pocket maximum, as there is a separate pharmacy deductible and a separate pharmacy out-of-pocket maximum. See "PrudentRx Copay Program" for In-Network Only Plan and Choice Plan details.
