All Aetna plans include prescription drug coverage. Some preventive medications [PDF] are not subject to the plan’s annual deductible, and some HCR essential prescribed medications [PDF] are available at no cost.
You pay the full, negotiated cost for other prescription drugs, which counts toward your annual deductible. Once you meet your deductible, you pay only a copay for covered medications. Prescription drug costs count toward your medical out-of-pocket maximum.
Formulary
The list of medications covered by the plan is called the formulary. The Aetna formulary (Standard Opt Out Plan) shows whether a certain drug is covered as a generic, brand or nonpreferred brand. Check the Aetna website (SSO) or call the number on your member ID card for the cost of a specific drug.
Short-term medications
For prescriptions up to 30 days, you can use any pharmacy in the network. To find one, log in to the Aetna website (SSO) and click the Pharmacy tab.
