How to ask us to pay for a prescription drug you already received
You can ask us to pay for our share of the cost of a drug you have already received where you didn’t use your HealthTeam Advantage prescription drug benefits. This is called a Part D Direct Member Reimbursement request. For information on situations in which you may ask us for reimbursement of prescription drugs, please see your Evidence of Coverage, which can be downloaded on the Plan Documents page.
To request reimbursement, download the Prescription Drug Direct Member Reimbursement Form and follow the instructions to complete the form on page 2. Submit the form AND the original paid pharmacy receipts to one of the following:
- BY MAIL:
MedImpact Healthcare Systems, Inc
PO Box 509108
San Diego, CA 92150-9108
- BY FAX: Fax your request to MedImpact at 858-549-1569.
Once we receive your reimbursement request, a decision will be made within 14 calendar days. If approved, payment will be processed and mailed within the same 14 calendar days. If we deny any part of your request, we will provide instructions on how to appeal our decision. For more information on appealing a denied request, please see your Evidence of Coverage, which can be downloaded from the Plan Documents page.
