Pharmacy benefit manager change to IngenioRx

Effective January 1, 2020, IngenioRx will become our new pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) and will start managing prescription coverage for your Medicare Advantage individual and group retiree plan patients. IngenioRx PBM services will include handling your patients’ prescriptions for mail order and specialty pharmacy medications.

 

Transferring prescriptions

We will automatically transfer prescriptions to IngenioRx Home Delivery Pharmacy for members currently using Express Scripts Mail Order Pharmacy. Members will receive instructions for initializing IngenioRx Home Delivery Pharmacy later this year. For members receiving specialty drugs from Accredo, we will automatically transfer prescriptions to IngenioRx Specialty Pharmacy. Most members will be able to fill their prescriptions at their same retail pharmacy outlet. If the member’s pharmacy will not be available, we’ll notify the member by letter and include a list of three alternative pharmacies near his or her home.

 

Prescriptions for controlled substances currently being filled at Express Scripts Mail Order Pharmacy or Accredo cannot be transferred to another pharmacy under federal law. Patients currently receiving these medications will need a new prescription sent to IngenioRx Home Delivery Pharmacy or IngenioRx Specialty Pharmacy.

 

• For providers who use ePrescribing:
