Tier 1—Select providers
Tier 2—PPO providers
Tier 3—Non-participating providers
Tier 1 plan—select providers
For a list of select facilities and providers to choose from, please visit our medical
staff directory.
To make an appointment with a select provider, log in to My health manager and
go to the Appointment Center.
If you have any questions or need help, call Membership Services. We're available

Tier 3 plan—non-participating providers
If the provider you want to see is not a select provider (Tier 1 plan) or a PPO
provider (Tier 2 plan), he or she falls into what we call the non-participating
provider (Tier 3 plan) category.
If you are unsure whether or not your provider falls under the non-participating
provider (Tier 3 plan) category, please contact Membership Services, Monday
through Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Pharmacy
Fill a prescription
To get your prescription filled by a select pharmacy, the medication must be listed
on our formulary.♦ If the medication is listed on our formulary, then you will pay the
select pharmacy copayment or coinsurance listed in your benefit summary.
The prescription can be filled at any of these locations, or you can sign up for our
mail-order pharmacy.
To get your prescription filled by a MedImpact pharmacy, the medication will either
be generic/brand (2-tier pharmacy plan) or generic/preferred brand (see
formulary♦)/non-preferred brand (3-tier pharmacy plan). Based on which plan you
have, you will then pay the corresponding copayment or coinsurance listed in your
benefit summary. Not all plans have a MedImpact pharmacy benefit. Please see
your summary of benefits for more details.
REMINDER: If you are an existing Added Choice member, you can find all
necessary provider contact information on the back of your ID card.
