The 2023 Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Stride (HMO) plan pharmacy benefit will include “Preferred” and “Standard” pharmacies. This change means a difference in cost for prescriptions depending on where the member purchases their medication. The cost of Tier 1 and Tier 2 drugs is less when Stride members use a Preferred Pharmacy.
There are many preferred pharmacies in our network including chain pharmacies and independent pharmacies. The list of preferred pharmacies can be located at the back of the Provider Directory (after page 1138). These are the chain pharmacies that are part of our preferred pharmacy network:
- BIG Y PHARMACY
- CVS PHARMACY
- HANNAFORD
- OSCO PHARMACY
- RITE AID
- SAM’S CLUB
- STOP & SHOP PHARMACY
- WALMART
There are many other local independent pharmacies included in our preferred pharmacy network. Be sure to use the pharmacy search tool. You can search pharmacy locations by zip code, city or address. The search allows for a radius of 2-50 miles.
