In this video, we walk through how health insurance providers handle pharmacy coverage and the importance of using in-network pharmacies:
While you technically have the option to go to any pharmacy, your health insurance provider may or may not cover the cost based on whether it's an in-network or out-of-network pharmacy.
Health plans differ in terms of which medications they cover and which pharmacies are considered "in-network."
Staying in-network typically results in cost discounts due to the provider's contract with the pharmacy, whereas going out of network may lead to paying the full price for your medication.
Many insurance companies offer search tools on their websites to help you check if a pharmacy is in-network or out-of-network, similar to how you can verify the network status of a doctor or healthcare provider. It's recommended to visit your insurance company's website or contact them directly to determine whether the pharmacy you wish to use is in-network with your plan and to explore in-network options near you.
