Pharmacy Benefits


OGB uses a Formulary to help members select the most appropriate, lowest-cost options. The Formulary is reviewed regularly to reassess drug tiers based on the current prescription drug market. Members will continue to pay a portion of the cost of their prescriptions in the form of a copay or coinsurance. The amount members pay toward their prescription depends on whether or not they receive a generic, preferred, non-preferred, or specialty brand drug.

Note: $1,500 threshold does not apply to HSA775.

Note: Maintenance drugs are not subject to your medical deductible.
