Niaspan 500MG ER, Niaspan 750MG ER, and Niaspan1000 ER are all cost-sharing Tier 3 medications on the 2011 Humana Walmart-Preferred Rx plan.

These medications would have a cost-sharing of a 20% co-insuirance (you pay 20% and the plan pays 80% of the negotiated retail drug price) - if purchased the drugs at a preferred pharmacy such as Walmart, Sam's Club or RightSource.

If you purchased these drugs at other Humana network pharmacies (like CVS), your cost-sharing would increase to 37% co-insurance (you pay 37% and the plan pays 63% of the negotiated retail drug price).
