DOE teachers with HIP insurance
I just got my insurance card. It shows a $10 company for my PCP. However, where it says "rx" for prescriptions is says "N". What does this mean? Is there no company for prescriptions?

Prescriptions are through the UFT by Express Scripts.

HIP members now have a $10 copay to visit their PCP unless it's for a well visit check up. Prescriptions always come from the Uft welfare fund...visit website and make sure you are enrolled. You should have a card from them.

Oh no..... I got one of those in the mail with a list of "injectable" meds it covered and thought it was not something I needed bc I don't use any injectable medication so I shredded it. My old insurance (through HIP) was one card for everything.
Sh1t.

You get two cards for prescriptions - your PICA card covering injectibles and chemo https://www1.nyc.gov/site/olr/health/summaryofplans/health-pica.page and your "main" RX card from the UFT. (http://www.uft.org/health-benefits/enroll-info)

Re: DOE teachers with HIP insurance
The $10 PCP copay only applies if your PCP isn't a "preferred provider"... If they are on the list, then you have no copay and no copay for specialists... But if they're not on the list, you now have copays for the PCP and specialists! Who your PCP is and whether they are "preferred" dictates everything. My husband and kids all have no copays and I have them because of who my PCP is.
What really ticks me off is the process you have to go through to get things reimbursed from the UFT... when my baby was getting discharged from the NICU, I had to lay out over $1,000 for oxygen, monitors, breast pump (forget the fight I had to get that covers) and then wait months to have only a portion of it reimbursed. Just a side complaint lol
