Coverage for Proton Pump Inhibitors
If you are prescribed a brand-name proton pump inhibitor (PPI) prescription medication, you must have previously tried a generic proton pump inhibitor to receive coverage for the brand-name PPI. You should talk to your doctor to see if a generic alternative is appropriate for you. If your physician has a medical reason for you to take a brand-name PPI prescription medication rather than a generic alternative, your physician will need to contact CVS Caremark for preauthorization and a determination will be made. If the brand-name prescription is not authorized and you opt not to obtain the generic alternative available, you will be responsible for the entire cost of the prescription under the terms of the JPMorgan Chase Prescription Drug Plan.
