Cost and Coverage of Pacific Care Prescriptions
Pacific Care prescription costs vary widely depending on the medication, your plan, and your location. Check your Summary of Benefits and Coverage (SBC) for details on your specific plan’s formulary and cost-sharing requirements. Generic medications are usually much cheaper than brand-name equivalents.
To minimize costs, consider using Pacific Care’s preferred pharmacies. These pharmacies often offer lower prices than non-preferred locations. Ask your doctor about generic alternatives to your prescribed medications; this can significantly reduce out-of-pocket expenses.

Your plan’s specific drug tiers and copay amounts are detailed in your SBC. Prior authorization may be needed for certain medications, potentially delaying access but sometimes leading to lower costs. Always clarify authorization requirements with your doctor and Pacific Care.
| Coverage Level | Copay (Example) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 (Generic) | $10 | Lowest cost-sharing |
| Tier 2 (Preferred Brand) | $30 | Moderate cost-sharing |
| Tier 3 (Non-Preferred Brand) | $50 | Highest cost-sharing |
| Specialty Drugs | Varies greatly | Requires prior authorization; may involve higher costs and specific programs |
