Drugs, injectables, and radioactive materials used for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes, if they are administered to you in a Participating Medical Office or during home visits. We cover these items upon payment of the Administered Medications Cost Share shown in the “Benefit Summary.” Drugs prescribed for an indication if the FDA has not approved the drug for that indication (off-label drugs) are covered only if our Regional Formulary and Therapeutics Committee determines that the drug is recognized as effective for that use (i) in one of the standard reference compendia, or (ii) in the majority of relevant peer-reviewed medical literature, or (iii) by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Cost Share for Covered Drugs and Supplies When you get a prescription from a Participating Pharmacy, or order a prescription from our Mail-Order Pharmacy, you pay the Cost Share as shown in the “Benefit Summary.” This applies for each prescription consisting of up to the day supply shown in the “Benefit Summary.” Outpatient prescription drugs and supplies are subject to the applicable Cost Share until the medical Out-of-Pocket Maximum is met. If Charges for the drug or supply are less than your Cost Share, you pay the lesser amount. When you obtain your prescription through a pharmacy owned and operated by Kaiser Permanente (including our Mail-Order Pharmacy) you may be able to use an approved drug manufacturer coupon as payment for your prescription Copayment or Coinsurance, after you satisfy your Plan’s Deductible. Drug manufacturer coupons cannot be used toward payment of the Deductible in this HSA-compatible high deductible health Plan. If the coupon does not cover the entire amount of your Copayment or Coinsurance, you are responsible for the additional amount up to the applicable Copayment or Coinsurance as shown in the “Benefit Summary.” When you use an approved coupon for payment of your Copayment or Coinsurance, the coupon amount will count toward the Out-of-Pocket Maximum. For more information about the Kaiser Permanente coupon program rules and limitations, please call Member Services, or go to kp.org/rxcoupons. Day Supply Limit The prescribing provider determines how much of a drug or supply to prescribe. For purposes of day supply coverage limits, the prescribing provider determines the amount of a drug or supply that constitutes a Medically Necessary 30-day (or any other number of days) supply for you. When you pay the Cost Share shown in the “Benefit Summary,” you will receive the prescribed supply up to the day supply limit. If you wish to receive more than the covered day supply limit, then you must pay for any prescribed quantity that EWCLGDED1983ACT0124 58 WAPEBB-CL-ACT
