Nearly one in four Sutter Health Plus member prescriptions filled are for maintenance drugs—prescriptions for ongoing conditions such as asthma, diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. Members can skip the trip to the pharmacy to pick up maintenance drug prescriptions by signing up for mail order pharmacy through Express Scripts®.

With convenient mail order pharmacy, members can fill up to a 100-day supply, as their benefit plan allows, of maintenance prescription drugs for two times the 30-day retail cost share, after an applicable deductible, with free standard shipping.

Mail order pharmacy may also help members save money. For members or families with multiple eligible prescriptions, mail order could result in a significant annual savings.
