2015 Prescription Drug Lists:

Filling a Prescription:

  • Take your Nevada Health CO-OP health insurance card with you each time you fill a prescription.
  • You should also be prepared to show other photo identification.
  • The pharmacist will use generic drugs rather than brand drugs whenever possible, unless your doctor specifically requests a brand drug. If you or your doctor requests a brand name drug when a generic drug is available or a non-formulary drug, you are responsible for the co-pay according to your Detailed Schedule of Benefits (DSB) – Attachment A Benefit Schedule.
  • You need to use a network pharmacy to get your prescriptions at the co-pay cost. There are several large pharmacy chains within our networks.
  • Some drugs require step therapy. This means that you must try a first step drug before the second step drug will be covered. If your prescription requires a first step drug, the pharmacist will notify you.
  • If you are traveling and need a prescription filled out of town, contact Catamaran Rx at 855-897-0304 to find an in-network pharmacy in the city you are located in.

Although we update our pharmacy listings on an ongoing basis, it is a good habit to call our CO-OP Care Crew at 702-823-2667 or toll-free at 855-606-2667 (TTY at 711) and ask if a pharmacy is in our networks before filling prescriptions or if a prescription medication is covered. CO-OP Care Crew hours are Monday through Friday, 8 am to 5 pm PST (starting October 1st).
