How much do medications cost, and how do I know what will be covered?

The pharmacy may bill your health insurance provider for certain services and medications. Whether your medication is covered depends on your health insurance plan, the contract the pharmacy has with your health insurer, and the type of medication. Basic care is often covered, such as medications for chronic conditions. Sometimes you have to pay a copay, or the medication may not be covered under basic insurance.

At the pharmacy, you’ll receive personalized advice, medication reviews, and assistance with using your medications properly. This helps improve your health and prevent hospitalizations. For specific questions about coverage, you can always contact your pharmacy or health insurer.

The pharmacy may bill for so-called “services” (services) if the pharmacy has performed the following activities, among others:

• Providing personalized advice
• Checking medication
• Guidance on the use of medications
