A limited number of preventative medications are covered under TigerMeds® prior to reaching your deductible. These include medications for heart disease, diabetes, blood pressure, cholesterol, contraception, bone density, respiratory diseases, SSRIs for depression/anxiety, and diabetic devices and supplies.

After you reach the deductible, TigerMeds® and prescription copays will kick in.

The deductible is inclusive of both pharmacy and medical expenses.
