Pharmacy Benefits
GatorCare members are required to satisfy a prescription drug deductible for purchases of all Tier 2-5 prescription drugs before the plan’s prescription benefits apply. The deductible amount is $125 per covered person, with a deductible cap of $500 per family. Each member will pay the deductible plus any applicable coinsurance, up to the cost of the drug. For drugs that cost less than $125, members will pay the cost of the drug, until the $125 prescription drug deductible is met. The deductible applies regardless of whether you purchase your prescription from a retail or mail order pharmacy. Representatives at the Prime Therapeutics (formerly Magellan Rx Management) Call Center have access to the GatorCare formulary and can review the formulary for a prescribed medication, determine it’s tier, and if not on Tier 1, suggest other medications in the same therapeutic class found in Tier 1. They can be reached at 800-651-8921. * The pharmacy deductible does not apply to Healthy Rewards HSA plans.
GatorCare plans require a mandatory 90-day supply at retail or mail delivery for Tier 0, Tier 1 and Tier 2 maintenance medications, following two 30-day grace fills. Learn more about the mandatory 90-day supply here. Some maintenance medications are excluded from the mandatory 90-day supply.
Specialty medications must be filled at one of the UF Health pharmacies or through Prime Therapeutics’s (formerly Magellan Rx Management’s) specialty pharmacy. UF Health Shands employees in Gainesville will exclusively use the UF Health-Shands pharmacies in Gainesville for specialty medications. UF Health Jacksonville employees will exclusively use the UF Health Jacksonville Ambulatory Pharmacy for specialty medications. UF Health Central Florida employees will exclusively use the UF Health Leesburg Hospital Pharmacy for specialty medications.
