TigerMeds and the HDHP
If you choose to keep the current PPO plan, TigerMeds® will remain the same and prescription copays will continue as in 2023. But if you choose to enroll in the new HDHP, you will pay the full retail price for your prescriptions until you reach the deductible.
-
A limited amount of preventative medications will be covered under TigerMeds® prior to reaching your deductible. These include specific medications for heart disease, diabetes, blood pressure, cholesterol, contraception, bone density, respiratory diseases, SSRIs for depression/anxiety, as well as diabetic devices and supplies.
-
After you reach the deductible, TigerMeds®will kick in and prescription copays will return to previous amounts as in 2023.
-
The deductible is inclusive of both pharmacy and medical expenses.
