    At Medco, we view pharmacists as integral partners in helping us provide our members with the safest, most convenient, cost-effective prescription drugs.

    Strengthening our network partnership
    We believe a strong partnership hinges on clear and open communications. At Medco we've made it our top priority to provide you with the most efficient and accessible means of communicating with us. Our pharmacists and benefits experts are available to you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, online, and on the phone. We have three dedicated channels for helping support pharmacists:
  • Your Prescription drug benefit co-payments at a glance
  •  

  • Show this to your doctor and discuss ways to pay less for the medications you need.

    If you need medication on a long-term basis, you will save money using your mail-order pharmacy, MEDCO By Mail, instead of a drugstore. We will deliver up to a 90-day supply of your medication right to you - and standard shipping is free.

    For short-term prescriptions, such as antibiotics, use a retail pharmacy

    As a MEDCO member, you can go to any of nearly 60,000 retail pharmacies, including most major drugstores. Just ask your local pharmacy if it's in MEDCO's network. You can also visit www.medco.com and click "Locate a Pharmacy" or call Member Services at the number on your prescription drug ID card.

    MEDCO may contact your doctor about your prescription

    If you are prescribed a drug that is not on your plan's preferred list, yet an alternative plan-preferred drug exists, we may contact your doctor to ask whether that drug would be appropiate for you. If your doctor agrees to use a plan-preferred drug, you will usually pay less.
