Prescription Benefits
If at the time of your retirement you're eligible for Medicare, you will be enrolled in SilverScript—a division of the CVS Health drug program—automatically. If you become Medicare eligible after your retirement date, you will be transferred to SilverScript once we receive a copy of your Medicare card indicating you have part A and B (you do not need to apply for part D). Failure to provide your Medicare card may result in a loss of coverage.
Once you are enrolled in SilverScript, you will receive a personal ID card. Learn more about your SilverScript prescription benefits. If you have questions or concerns about your enrollment, please contact SilverScript directly at 1-855-702-1187.
If you are not Medicare-eligible, you and any eligible non-Medicare dependents will receive ID cards from CVS Caremark and your coverage will continue under the “commercial” CVS Caremark Prescription Drug plan.
