Prescription Drugs

If your plan includes prescription drug benefits from Express Scripts (formerly Medco), access your personal prescription information via the Express Scripts website.

Once registered, you'll be able to order prescriptions and check the status of your order, have prescriptions delivered to your home, price and compare brand-name and generic medications, and access valuable health and medication information.

• Go to the Express Scripts Gateway. Make sure your plan includes prescription drug benefits from Express Scripts before you continue. If you are unsure, check with your plan administrator.
• If you're looking for MedicareRx (Medicare Part D) information, please visit the MedicareRx Web area.
