The plan offers national in-network prescription coverage (i.e. this would include 50 states and the District of Columbia). This means that you will pay the same cost-sharing amount for your prescription drugs if you get them at an in-network pharmacy outside of the plan’s service area (for instance when you travel). |
Total yearly drug costs are the total drug costs paid by you the plan and Medicare. |
The plan may require you to first try one drug to treat your condition before it will cover another drug for that condition. |
Some drugs have quantity limits. |
Your provider must get prior authorization from WellCare Liberty (HMO SNP) for certain drugs. |
You must go to certain pharmacies for a very limited number of drugs due to special handling provider coordination or patient education requirements that cannot be met by most pharmacies in your network. These drugs are listed on the plan’s website formulary printed materials as well as on the Medicare Prescription Drug Plan Finder on Medicare.gov. |
If the actual cost of a drug is less than the normal cost-sharing amount for that drug you will pay the actual cost not the higher cost-sharing amount. |
The plan charges a minimum cost sharing amount for certain low-cost drugs. |
If you request a formulary exception for a drug and WellCare Liberty (HMO SNP) approves the exception you will pay the generic cost share for generic drugs and the brand cost share for brand drugs. |
You pay a $0 annual deductible. |
Depending on your income and institutional status you pay the following: For generic drugs (including brand drugs treated as generic) either: - A $0 copay or
- A $1.15 copay or
- A $2.65 copay
For all other drugs either: - A $0 copay or

|
Please note that brand drugs must be dispensed incrementally in long-term care facilities. Generic drugs may be dispensed incrementally. Contact your plan about cost-sharing billing/collection when less than a one-month supply is dispensed. |
You pay a $0 copay. |
Plan drugs may be covered in special circumstances for instance illness while traveling outside of the plan’s service area where there is no network pharmacy. You may have to pay more than your normal cost-sharing amount if you get your drugs at an out-of-network pharmacy. In addition you will likely have to pay the pharmacy’s full charge for the drug and submit documentation to receive reimbursement from WellCare Liberty (HMO SNP). |
Depending on your income and institutional status you will be reimbursed by WellCare Liberty (HMO SNP) up to the plan’s cost of the drug minus the following: For generic drugs purchased out-of-network (including brand drugs treated as generic) either: - A $0 copay or
- A $1.15 copay or
