Silverscript Prescription Drug Plan
New New for 2024 – SilverScript Employer Prescription Drug Plan (PDP) for RCBP.
If you have Medicare A and or B as your primary coverage and have not opted into the Medicare Advantage Plan for RCBP, you’ll automatically be enrolled in our SilverScript® Employer Prescription Drug Plan (PDP) under Medicare Part D for RCBP.* Your new prescription drug plan will start January 1, 2024.
Your medical coverage and your Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program premium will not change.** You are still covered under RCBP through the FEHB Program if you continue to pay your RCBP premium. Enrolling in the PDP will not result in the suspension or termination of your FEHB coverage.
Benefits of the PDP (the SilverScript Employer Prescription Drug Plan):
- $0 annual deductible
- $5 copay for generics
- Copays for all tiers
- Access to over 66,000 pharmacies nationwide
- No mandatory fill requirements
If you don’t want to be enrolled in the SilverScript Employer PDP for RCBP, you must contact Member Services at 1-833-825-6754 (TTY: 711), Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 8 PM ET or go online at AetnaRetireeHealth.com/RCBP and opt out of this coverage between October 23, 2023 and December 31, 2023.
If you opt out of this new prescription drug plan, you will continue your prescription coverage under your current Rural Carrier Benefit Plan.
