Helpful Information on Drug Shortages for Members on Plan A and Plan B

JHMB

|

Drug shortages are identified from time to time due to manufacturing issues, increased demand, and/or supply chain disruptions. In the event of a drug shortage, you may or may not be affected, depending on the availability of alternative medications and the specific supply situation in your area.  

If you are unable to obtain your normal supply, your options include:

  1. Reaching out to your prescribing doctor and/or pharmacist to discuss alternatives.
  2. Obtaining a smaller amount of the medication, and then returning to the same pharmacy later to obtain the remainder. If you do obtain a smaller amount, you should not have to pay your copay a second time. Call Elixir to resolve any issues with your copay.
  3. Trying a different pharmacy. Each pharmacy may have different amounts of inventory on hand. Call the pharmacy in advance to make sure it is in stock. Text messages from your pharmacy claiming that your medication is ready may not be accurate if the item is not in stock.

For additional assistance, please do not hesitate to contact Elixir Customer Care at 833-640-2849, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Become a WellPATH Champion


If your site is not listed, please include your location below.

I agree to represent my school/department as the Wellness Champion for this school year. I understand the outlined roles and responsibilities of the Wellness Champion and will assist in the implementation and coordination of wellness initiatives. I agree to not only support the WellPATH Employee Wellness program by my participation, but to collaborate with my local management team to support the initiatives as well. I understand that the success of the program hinges on all employees being empowered to make informed decisions that positively impact their health. The WellPATH program can count on me to be a messenger and motivator and to help gather information from my co-workers, principals and managers to help foster a culture of wellness within Fresno Unified School District that supports good health.

I also understand that I may be asked to assist in scheduling rooms and programs (including wellness screenings, seasonal influenza program) at my location, displaying WellPATH brochures, posters, etc. in appropriate areas, and encouraging my co-workers to be involved in the WellPATH Employee Wellness program.
