Paying for Your Prescription Drugs through the Mail Service Pharmacy
To receive an estimate of the total cost of your prescription
drug order, you may call Caremark® Customer Care at
1-866-875-MILA (6452). If your order includes drugs
that are subject to the Plan’s $500 prescription drug
deductible, the quotation should be regarded as an
estimate. The cost of drugs changes frequently and the
price you pay is the price on the day the prescription is
shipped to you.
The fastest and easiest way to fill your prescription is
to supply your credit or debit card number to Caremark®
so your prescription will be filled immediately. You will
receive a receipt with your prescription from Caremark®
showing the actual amount charged to your credit or debit
card. You may place your credit or debit card number
on file with Caremark® so that future purchases will
be expedited.
You may opt to pay for your prescriptions by check or
money order. However, due to the variation in drug costs
from day to day, you may want to establish a small account
with Caremark® so funds are available as needed. Caremark®
will not release any prescriptions unless there are sufficient
funds in your account to cover your total cost for the
prescription order. If your payment is insufficient to cover
the cost of your prescription(s), a Member Accounts
Receivable (AR) Representative may contact you to explain
additional payment options that will expedite the shipment
of your order.
