Members Get Generic Drugs for Chronic Conditions at No Cost

As you may be aware, chronic conditions, left unattended, can lead to poor health and affect quality of life. From July 1 through December 31, 2008, our new member incentive program, Rx for Better Health, will waive copays on 75 generic drugs to allow members easier access to the drugs they need to stay healthy and avoid preventable consequences like unnecessary hospitalizations and visits to the ER. The 75 drugs included in the Rx for Better Health program have been identified as those most commonly used to treat chronic conditions such as:

• high blood pressure
• high cholesterol
• diabetes
• depression
• acid reflux
• heart failure
• heart disease

Taking Care of Chronic Conditions is Vital

Consistently taking your doctor’s prescribed drug therapy is critical to successfully managing your chronic conditions. The studies used to develop the Rx for Better Health member-incentive program show that consistent use of prescribed drugs for chronic conditions improves overall health and reduces the risk of more serious, and in some cases life-threatening, complications.
