Many thanks for the helpful info, Chip! ----- Original Message ----- From: Chip Orange To: tabi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, June 16, 2010 3:26 PM Subject: [tabi] to all state, county, and city employees Hi all, If you use Capitol Health Plan as your health insurance, state employees (at least) have just been notified that they will no longer cover prescriptions from Walgreens, as of July 9. I believe it's January 1 if you're getting CHP coverage through Medicare. You will need to move your prescriptions on file with a walgreens pharmacy to a caremark participating pharmacy, which should be listed at http://www.caremark.com I believe CVS is one such pharmacy, and they do offer a mail refill service for "maintenance" medications. Unlike Walgreens however, they will not automatically contact your doctor's office with a refill request for controlled substance prescriptions. This is very short notice, so I thought the sooner everyone knew, the sooner you could begin to make other arrangements.
