    Some drugs have quantity limits.
    Your provider must get prior authorization from Medica Prime Solution Value with Part D Option 2 (Cost) 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.
    If you request a formulary exception for a drug and Medica Prime Solution Value with Part D Option 2 (Cost) approves the exception you will pay Tier 3: Non-Preferred Brand cost sharing for that drug.
