How Can You Find a Directory of WellCare Network Pharmacies?
WellCare has over 68,000 pharmacies in its network. In order to find a pharmacy that accepts your WellCare plan, visit the WellCare website and search its Pharmacy Directory. The directory includes a number of well-known, nationwide pharmacies that offer preferred cost-sharing including Rite Aid, CVS, Walmart and Walgreens. In order to search, you’ll need to input your current plan and the state where you reside.
Filling Your Prescription
Filling your prescription is as easy as visiting a participating network pharmacy and presenting your WellCare ID card. You will be responsible for any out-of-pocket expenses as stipulated in your insurance benefits.
Requesting Drug Coverage
If your medication isn’t covered, you can fill out a Prescription Drug Coverage Request form found on the WellCare website. Your prescriber or another approved individual may also fill out this form on your behalf. This request can also be made via phone, at 1-866-800-6111. If the request is time-sensitive and waiting for a decision may seriously harm your health, your life or impact your ability to regain maximum function, you can request an expedited decision. Otherwise, the standard response time is 72 hours.
CVS Caremark Mail Service
While WellCare has over 68,000 pharmacies in its network, it also offers a convenient mail-order option for patients who prefer having medications delivered right to their door.
