To locate a listing of participating pharmacies, visit the State Health Plan's prescription drug benefit administrator's Web site.

Some drugs may require prior authorization or be subject to quantity limits (see Prior Authorization Page). It is very important to make sure that prior approval is received before going to the Pharmacy.

Prescription drug copayments are limited to $2,500 per person per benefit period. After the $2,500 maximum is reached, the health benefit plan pays 100 percent of allowed prescription drug charges per benefit period.

Certain self-administered medications are excluded from the Blue OptionsSM PPO Plan medical benefit, but are covered under the prescription drug benefit. To determine whether an injectable drug is covered as a prescription drug benefit, please review this list.

This list is subject to change. As new self-administered medications become available, they will be added to this list as quickly as possible and excluded from the medical benefit.
