What are the prescription drug costs under my plan?

The prescription drug costs under a Kaiser Permanente - Denver/Boulder health plan can vary based on several factors, including the specific plan you have chosen, the type of medication prescribed, and whether the medication is classified as a generic or brand-name drug. In general, Kaiser Permanente provides a formulary, which is a list of covered medications along with their associated costs, typically categorized into tiers. Each tier will have different co-payment or coinsurance amounts depending on the medication's classification. For example, generic medications often have lower out-of-pocket costs compared to brand-name medications. Additionally, certain specialty drugs may incur higher costs. It is also important to consider whether the medication is obtained at a retail pharmacy or through a mail-order service, as costs may vary accordingly. To get specific details about your prescription drug costs under your plan, it is advisable to refer to the Kaiser Permanente - Denver/Boulder member services web page, where you can find specific information tailored to your plan.
