Prescription drug coverage is included on CHPW Medicare Advantage (MA) Plans 1, 2, 3, 4 and Dual Plan (SNP). Our coverage uses a tiered cost-sharing system. You pay either a fixed copay amount or a percentage of the total cost.

• Tier 2: Generic – includes preferred generic drugs
• Tier 3: Preferred Brand – includes preferred brand drugs and non-preferred generic drugs
• Tier 4: Non-Preferred – includes non-preferred brand drugs and non-preferred generic drugs
• Tier 5: Specialty Tier – includes high cost and brand name drugs
