WellCare Highlighting Benefits of Medicare Prescription Drug Plans

WellCare Health Plans, Inc. WCG has enhanced its Medicare Prescription Drug Plans to offer members greater value in 2014. WellCare's plans are specifically designed to meet the medication needs of cost-conscious seniors and dual-eligible beneficiaries.   One way the company is helping to drive down costs is with the introduction of a preferred retail pharmacy network. Members selecting a WellCare preferred retail pharmacy will have a reduced co-pay when filling prescriptions. This network includes Duane Reade, Kmart, Sam's Club, Walgreens and Walmart.   Additionally, members can use the company's preferred mail-order pharmacy, Exactus Pharmacy Solutions, which offers $0 co-pays for Tier 1 medications and significant savings on many other prescriptions. With Exactus, members can receive refill reminders and enjoy the convenience of never having to drive to the pharmacy or wait in line for prescriptions.    Eligible members also have access to WellCare's Healthy Living Program, which identifies members who are at the greatest risk of experiencing a medication therapy problem and provides them with education and information to prevent medication-related side effects and ways to lead healthier lives. A team of pharmacy professionals help members safely and effectively use their prescribed medications, better manage their disease states and take greater control of their health.
