All prescriptions, whether purchased through mail order or at a retail pharmacy, are subject to a copayment. If your physician prescribes a brand-name drug when a generic equivalent is available, you are responsible for paying the difference between the two prices in addition to the copayment.
Through the mail-order service, you can obtain up to a 90-day supply of medication at one time for only a 60-day copayment (30-day copayment for generic drugs).
