GENERATIONS MEDICARE ADVANTAGE PLANS TRANSITION POLICY
EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2025
Under certain circumstances, the plan can offer a temporary supply of a drug to you when your drug is not on the Drug List or when it is restricted in some way. Doing this gives you time to talk with your provider about the change in coverage and figure out what to do.
To be eligible for a temporary supply, you must meet the two requirements below:
- The change to your drug coverage must be one of the following types of changes:
- The drug you have been taking is no longer on the plan’s Drug List.
- or -- the drug you have been taking is now restricted in some way.
- You must be in one of the situations described below:
- For those members who are new:
We will cover a temporary supply of your drug during the first 90 days of your membership in the plan if you were new. This temporary supply will be for a maximum of a 30-day supply. If your prescription is written for fewer days, we will allow multiple fills to provide up to a maximum of a 30-day supply of medication. The prescription must be filled at a network pharmacy.
- For those members who have been in the plan for more than 90 days and reside in a long-term care (LTC) facility and need a supply right away:
We will cover one 31-day supply of a particular drug, or less if your prescription is written for fewer days. This is in addition to the above long-term care transition supply.
- For current members with a change in their level of care:
- If you experience a change in your setting of care (such as being discharged or admitted to a long-term care facility), your physician or pharmacy can request a temporary supply of the drug. This temporary supply (up to 31-days’) will allow you time to talk with your doctor about the change in coverage.
To ask for a temporary supply, call Customer Care at (866) 494-3927 (TTY users call 711).
During the time when you are getting a temporary supply of a drug, you should talk with your provider to decide what to do when your temporary supply runs out. You can either switch to a different drug covered by the plan or ask the plan to make an exception for you and cover your current drug.
