Make sure your medications are covered—and avoid surprise costs

Select Health large employer plans include a list of covered medications. Check your medications now to see:

  • Whether they're covered
  • If they require approval before filling
  • If lower-cost alternatives are available
  • Any limits that apply

The covered medication search includes average retail prices. If you use insurance benefits for these medications, your pricing will be based on your benefits.

Diabetes medications

Not all brands may be covered. Check your medication list for covered options.

Heartburn & acid reflux medications

Many treatments are available over the counter and may not be covered by your plan.

Specialty medications

Specialty medications often require additional coordination and may have specific coverage requirements.

What if a medication isn't covered?
