Retail Pharmacy:

Present your medical I.D. card with your prescription.  The pharmacist will fill your prescription and submit your claim electronically for you.  You will be charged a co-payment based on the following criteria:

A covered person may elect a brand name product when a generic is available, however, the covered person will be liable for the difference in cost between the brand name and generic drug along with any brand name co-pay.

A generic or formulary drug will automatically be substituted for a brand name drug unless there are health reasons and a letter of medical necessity from the prescribing physician has been received and approved by a panel of clinical pharmacists at NMHC.  For your convenience, letters of medical necessity can be faxed by the physician’s office directly to NMHC at (916) 414-4602.

If you have any questions, you may call NMHC toll-free at (800) 881-1966 or Tri-County Schools Insurance Group at (530) 822-5299 or toll-free (866) 822-5299.
