Effective January 1, 2012, retired members of the State Health Benefits Program (SHBP), who are eligible for Medicare, will be automatically enrolled in Express Scripts’ Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage, the Express Scripts Medicare Prescription Plan.
Express Scripts will remain the prescription drug plan administered for these retirees and coverage in the Express Scripts Medicare Prescription Drug Plan is similar to the current Express Scripts plans – i.e. members pay the appropriate co-payment for either a retail or mail order prescription drug order.
