A committee of Humana pharmacists and doctors evaluate each drug after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved them. This is also done once a year for maintenance.– The committee looks at medical research and literature to decide how the drug

compares to similar products on the market in such areas as:• Effectiveness• Safety• Side effects• Drug interactions• Cost

This helps to ensure you get medicines that are safe, effective, and at an affordable cost.

Networks are groups of pharmacies that agree to give discounted prices to members of certain pharmacy plans.

RightSource is Humana’s Mail-Order pharmacy.‒ RightSource fills prescriptions for maintenance medications.

• Maintenance medications are taken regularly and long-term for conditions such as: asthma, high cholesterol, and high blood.

RightSource Specialty is Humana’s Specialty pharmacy.– RightSource Specialty fills prescriptions for specialty medications.

• Specialty medications are used to treat chronic, complex illnesses and are typically high-priced injectable drugs. But can also include expensive tablets, capsules or inhaled medications.

These are separate pharmacies that fill different types of prescriptions and operate out of different locations.– If you use both pharmacies, you’ll receive individual invoices and shipments will

arrive separately.

Your RightSource experience

Approved orders go through the payment process. – If for some reason your benefit doesn’t cover the medication, a technician will

review the rejected claim.– RightSource will resolve the issue or return the written prescription with an

explanation about why they couldn’t process it.

An automated system dispenses the medication and a RightSource pharmacist makes sure the product matches the label before it’s sealed.

RightSource mails the order to your home, along with an invoice, and all of the necessary medication information.

Page 15: Humana Pharmacy Solutions: Pinellas County Schools  2013 Plan Benefits

RightSource Specialty pharmacists are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to answer questions and listen to concerns.

Members receive a 30-day supply delivered to their home or doctor’s office, along with any required administrative supplies such as needles or syringes.

Every new patient is contacted by a nurse.– Nurses specialize in the patient’s condition and medications.– The patient’s condition is assessed and a follow-up outreach is determined.– Patients are provided with nurse contact information and may call as often as

needed.
