MEDCO PRESCRIPTION COVERAGE
When you enroll in a health care plan you will automatically be enrolled in the prescription drug plan managed by Medco Health Solutions, Inc. (Medco). The only exception is the Special Medicfill plan without Prescription coverage for those pensioners who have chosen to enroll in Medicare Part D for their prescription coverage. The Coordination of Benefits (COB) policy also applies to prescription coverage. If your spouse or dependents have other health coverage that is primary (pays first), the prescription coverage provided through the State’s plan for the spouse or dependents will become secondary.
