Notice of suspension of services
The Employee
Insurance Division has been advised
that effective January 1, 2009,
Total Care Pharmacy, the Canadian
pharmacy contracted to provide copay-free
drugs for state employees,
will be
suspending services to
members of the Minnesota Advantage
Health Plan. Although the program
has been very successful (as much as
$1,000,000 in copay savings to state
employees), economic circumstances
have impacted Total Care’s ability
to provide these services for the
foreseeable future.
Please be aware that
after December 31, 2008, you will
need to select a Navitus network
pharmacy and have your prescriber
send another prescription to that
pharmacy for the drug(s) you are
currently purchasing through Total
Care Pharmacy.
You also have the
option of using mail order through
WellDyne. By using mail order you
are able to get a 90-day supply for
only two copayments. For information
about mail order you can:
-
Access the
Navitus Web site at
www.navitus.com. Go to
Members – Plan Specific
Information – MN
Advantage Health Plan –
Mail Order Information, or
-
Call Navitus
Customer Care toll-free at
866-333-2757 for assistance.
Finally, the Employee
Insurance Division has requested
that we remind you that open
enrollment is November 5 through
November 18. If you are planning on
making pre-tax contributions to the
Medical Dental Expense Account, you
may want to make adjustments to
reflect the fact that your medical
costs may increase because the copay
waivers through the Canadian drug
program will no longer be available.
Again, if you have any questions
about your prescription benefit,
call Navitus Customer Care toll-free
at 1-866-333-2757.
