Participating Pharmacy Program
You must obtain your prescriptions from a participating pharmacy. You only need to present your health ID card and pay your copayment for each prescription. The pharmacy will file a claim for you so that you don’t have to pay for the entire prescription or file a claim for reimbursement.
