Variable Copay™
Variable Copay™ is a free program that utilizes manufacturer-provided coupons to
significantly reduce the cost on eligible medications. If your medication has a
Variable Copay™ opportunity and you attempt to fill your prescription at an
independent or retail pharmacy, the pharmacy will receive a rejection notice stating
“Variable Copay Opportunity Available: Please call (800) 710-9341.” The rejection
notice does not indicate that your medication is not covered but instead determines
that your medication is eligible for a manufacturer coupon that will reduce the cost
to you.
