Dispense As Written (DAW) Provision
If you purchase a brand name or a primary/preferred drug at retail when a generic is available, you will pay the generic co-pay plus the difference between the cost of the generic drug and the drug dispensed unless the doctor writes “Dispense As Written.”
Maintenance Medications
On-going maintenance drug refills may be dispensed by mail-order; however, you may also purchase a 90-day supply at participating retail pharmacies; go to www.caremark.com to find a participating pharmacy. The cost of the 90-day supply at retail will be three times the 30-day cost.

You can purchase drugs through Caremark that are excluded under the prescription provision of our Medical Plan. Some examples of these drugs are lifestyle, cosmetic and smoking cessation. You are responsible for the total cost of the drug; however, you will receive Caremark’s discounted price. The cost of these drugs will not be applied to your deductible or out-of-pocket maximum.
