How coverage works for prescription medications
- Insurance Verification
- At first prescription fill, Smile Pharmacy verifies your plan details and copay requirements.
- Real-time electronic claims processing ensures immediate coverage determination.
- Copay and Deductible Processing
- Copays are collected at pickup or delivery.
- Deductibles and coinsurance amounts are automatically calculated at the point of service.
- Prior Authorization and Specialty Medications
- For medications requiring prior authorizations (e.g., specialty injectables, high-cost brand drugs), Smile Pharmacy’s insurance team submits necessary clinical paperwork on your behalf.
- Coordination with prescribing physicians expedites approvals and reduces delays.
- Mail Order and 90-Day Supplies
- Smile Pharmacy offers 90-day supply options where supported by your plan, minimizing refill frequency.
- Mail order and home delivery are processed under your standard pharmacy benefit to maximize coverage.
How coverage works for delivery services
Smile Pharmacy’s delivery services are covered by most insurance plans in the same way as in-store pickups:
- Standard Delivery Fees: Treated as a pharmacy service charge; often covered under “dispensing fees” in pharmacy benefits.
- Medicare Part D: Covers delivery under pharmacy benefit; no additional out-of-pocket for standard delivery fees in most plans.
- Medicaid: NJ Medicaid covers home delivery for eligible medications with no copay for beneficiaries.
- Private Plans: Many employer-sponsored plans include free or reduced-cost delivery services.
Smile Pharmacy’s delivery model ensures delivery fees are minimized or fully covered by insurance, with transparent billing and upfront benefit verification.
