MIT Health Plan lowers co-pays on generic drugsOn January 1, 2005, the MIT Health Plan will introduce a reorganized prescription-drug co-payment structure that will lower the co-payment for most generic, and certain brand-name, drugs. These "Tier 1" drugs-which represent more than 60 percent of the prescriptions our clinicians write-will now cost patients just $8 for up to a 30-day supply. The 30-day co-payment for "Tier 2" and "Tier 3" drugs will be $25 and $40, respectively. The MIT Health Plan offers up-to-90-day refills on most drugs, and for certain medications, 90-day refills cost patients just double the 30-day co-payment. |
