The Joint Health Management Board is always looking for new ways to serve our members. With that in mind, we’re letting you know about a new benefit enhancement for those prescribed folic acid. As a PPO Plan A or B member, you are now eligible to receive folic acid as a standalone supplement with a $0 copay at any pharmacy where you regularly fill your medication. Previously, $0 copays were only available for multivitamins that included folic acid, and did not apply to folic acid as a standalone supplement.
This benefit:
- Is available to women ages 15-45 who have an active prescription, whether pregnant or not.
- Applies only to folic acid obtained “behind-the-counter” through a prescription, not OTC.
- Will be applied automatically for eligible members with an active prescription.
