FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do I need to do anything to make sure I still have pharmacy benefits?

No. The transition from Magellan Rx to Navitus will take place automatically on July 1.

Will my medication be covered?

DMBA is working closely with Navitus to limit any disruption to prescription drug coverage, including ensuring the list of covered drugs (formulary) remains very similar to what it is today.

Will the amount I pay for my medications change?

The prescription drug benefit is not changing; however, the amount you pay may be slightly different. Please contact Navitus for information about the cost of your medications.

Can I still use my pharmacy?

Navitus has contracted with thousands of pharmacies across the nation. Please call Navitus to learn whether your preferred pharmacy is in network.
