Good Morning Jack,
In response to the question from one of our Security Officers regarding their child's medication, the Mandatory Generic Policy would apply to the Associate:
- If a generic dug is not available for the prescribed medication, the plan will cover the full cost of the brand name drug.
- If a generic drug is available for the prescribed medication, the plan will reimburse up to the cost of the generic drug only even if the doctor writes no substitute on the prescription.
- If the Associate chooses to purchase the brand name drug, they would be responsible for the difference in price between the brand name and the generic drug.
- If the doctor believes that there is a chance of an allergic reaction due to an inactive ingredient in the generic drug or other efficacy related concerns with the generic drug, the Associate may be able to request a special review of his/ her situation.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.

We"re seeing Jack and other members taking on a lot of issues and concerns on their own time for very little renumeration. This next negotiation let's have these people working for us on company time.
