The pharmacy network for Keystone HMO Proactive plans is a smaller version of our full FutureScripts® pharmacy network. Specifically, the Preferred Pharmacy Network excludes Walgreens and Rite Aid. If a member elects to get a prescription filled at Walgreens or Rite Aid, it will be considered an out-of-network claim and the member will be responsible for the total cost of the prescription drug(s) at the pharmacy. Some members can submit a paper claim for partial reimbursement.
With this preferred network, members will continue to have access to more than 50,000 pharmacies, such as CVS, Wal-Mart, and Target, in addition to independent pharmacies.
