Please be aware
The Aetna Specialty Care RxSM pharmacy benefits/insurance plan may be part of your prescription drug coverage. It requires you to fill certain specialty drugs through an in-network specialty pharmacy, like Aetna Specialty Pharmacy, in order to get the best coverage your plan allows.
* Specialty medications through Aetna Specialty Pharmacy and the Specialty Pharmacy Network may not be available to California HMO members. Talk to you doctor about the appropriate way to get the specialty medications you need. Doctors may have agreed to dispense and administer these drugs to you themselves. Or they may write a prescription so you can fill them at any participating retail or mail-order pharmacy.
