TRS health plan participants have access to the CVS Caremark Check Drug Cost tool to view the costs of their medications in real time. You don’t have to wait until after you visit with your medical provider to find out your cost. Using the tool, you can find out pricing before filling your prescription.
The tool can also tell you if there’s a lower cost alternative. Brand name medications are often more expensive. If you’re currently taking a brand-name drug, talk with your doctor to find out if there’s a generic alternative that may work for your treatment.
The Check Drug Cost tool defaults to the most commonly dispensed quantity and day supply for each medication covered.
You can modify the quantity and day supply totals when entering a medication for review.
