INTRODUCING RIDGEWAY MAIL-ORDER PHARMACY There is a new option for MUST members interested in saving money by using a mail-order pharmacy but who want to keep their money in Montana. Ridgeway Pharmacy of Victor, Montana is now a member of MUST's mail-order pharmacy network. Click here to visit the company's Web portal or here for a copy of a registration form and prescription instructions. 90-DAY PRESCRIPTION NETWORK Check this list to see if your Montana 90-day pharmacy is part of MUST's network. Please note that this pertains only to 90-day prescriptions. Unlisted pharmacies may still be part of MUST's 30-day network. ACCORDANTCARE BECOMES ALERE MUST's third-party health-management administrator, AccordantCare, has changed names to Alere. MUST wants to assure members that nothing about the program changes except the name. If interested in reading an explanation of the name-change, please read this announcement letter. CAREMARK NEWSLETTERS Below you will find a link to Caremark's newsletter, CareLetter, and several supplements that look at common health concerns. FIRST CHOICE HEALTH PREFERRED PROVIDER NETWORK MUST has changed Third Party Administrators effective June 1, 2010. All members are, therefore, advised to check First Choice Health's online provider search to make sure their local providers are in-network. Most Montana doctors are, but it is important to check. Members whose providers are not listed can contact First Choice Health so a specialist can try to negotiate a contract with the provider. For providers nationwide, members can check here. The advantage of using in-network providers is that they accept discounted rates for their services and will not bill MUST members for any amounts that exceed negotiated rates. (But please keep in mind that members are always responsible for meeting plan deductibles and co-payment amounts.)
