TO: John Stinson, Assistant to the Ci~ Manager
FROM: Sue Whitfield, Personnel Manager
SUBJECT: Councilman Peterson's question regarding prescriptions
In regard to your request yesterday for a response to Ken
Peterson's question, I have been unable to reach Councilman
Peterson at either his home or office numbers.
However, I believe the question referred to the Budget and Finance
Committee was, "Is there a requirement to use certain pharmacies
to fill prescriptions?"
Under the Blue Cross Plan employees are reimbursed for 80% of the
cost of prescriptions after they reach the deductible. There is
no restriction on the pharmacy to be used.
Under the Health Net Plan, Health Net contracts with certain
pharmacies and employees pay either $5.00 or $7.00 to fill their
prescriptions. The pharmacies used in Bakersfield are:
Longs Drug Stores
Lee Pharmacies
Thrifty Drug Stores
Please note that Health Net no longer contracts with Health Mart
Pharmacy. In addition, Health Net uses a number of participating
pharmacies that are listed on the attachment.
If a pharmacy is interested in contracting with Health Net they may
contact:
Robert Navarro
Health Net
Pharmacy Department
P.O. Box 9103
Van Nuys, California 91409
I hope this information is helpful.
