Private insurance companies offer a multitude of health insurance options for consumers. Whether through managed care organizations, such as HMOs or PPOs, or traditional fee-for service plans, available health insurance benefits vary significantly by payer, type of plan, employer, and by a patient's individual benefits.
Most private insurance plans offer some form of prescription drug benefits directly through the health insurer, or indirectly through a Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM). Patients should always verify individual benefits to determine if prescription benefits are available, and what is included. (NOTE: The GSKRRC can help patients verify health insurance benefits.
