New SilverScript SmartRx avg premium of $7.15

This is going to be interesting to run comparisons on. It should be a great plan for those on no more than a few Tier 1 meds. Will be interested to see how many other carriers come out with a similar plan.

I'm hoping the tier 1 formulary will be decent. Aetna is so easy to work with.

Old Aetna (before Wellcare)?

Isn't Envision/Elixir going to have a single digit plan (under $10)?

Old Aetna (before Wellcare)?

When CVS and Aetna merged, SilverScript stayed in the family. Only the Aetna branded PDP's left. Which means we deal with Aetna when discussing the SilverScript plan.

Silverscript is now under Aetna. All of the old plans are Wellcare now and not Aetna. I was trying not to say anything negative about Wellcare (most of us feel the same way about them as far as I can tell). I am hoping that the Centene thing will improve things, but I know nothing really of Centene.

I have two SilverScript 3-month supply prescriptions. One costs $3 and the other costs $0. Of course, there's the $21 or so monthly SS fee.

I usually wait to see Pdp premiums until Oct 1st. Where and is it available before that date, by zip code and all plans listed for 2021?

I started making a spreadsheet a few years ago for all plans in my state. Plan name, premium, deductible and preferred pharmacies for each plan. Just nice to have a quick reference when talking with someone on the phone.
