Benefits Information
The Prescription Drug Program
helps defray the cost of drugs prescribed for you and your eligible dependents
for use outside of hospitals, nursing homes, or other institutions. Covered
are those drugs which, as required by Federal Law, can be dispensed only
upon a written prescription order by a doctor.
The only cost to the employee is a copayment
for each prescription dispensed at a pharmacy. Employees and covered dependents
who are taking prescription medication on an ongoing basis may use the
prescription drug mail order program. This program provides medication
by mail for a maximum of 90 day supply with copayment. Information on
how this program works is available through the Office of Human Resources.
The employee and eligible dependents
are covered at no cost to the employee. Upon resignation, termination,
or retirement, coverage extends in accordance with the NJ State Health
Benefits termination timetable.
