Pequot Pharmacy benefits change for out-of-area Tribal members Imagine a new career Benefits increase to $700 this year only start your smart story at Clackamas Community College Wilsonville Campus The Tribal Council has approved a $200 increase for out-of-area (OOA) Tribal members' pharmacy benefits for 2012 only.

Tribal members who live outside of the 11 -county service area cannot get medica tion mailed through the Siletz Clinic, but can get medication directly through Pequot Pharmacy. Any maintenance medication needed by OOA members should be mailed to Pequot; this will stretch your card dollars. Members are only allowed to get two refills at a retail pharmacy before being required to utilize the mail-in program through Pequot. Patients who have primary pharmacy insurance, such as Blue Cross Blue Shield, AETNA or Medicare Part D, and have to pay a co-pay up front to the retail pharmacy can be reimbursed up to $700 this year. Members who pay up front for medication and still have a balance on their pharmacy card can be reimbursed as well. To receive a reimbursement, you must provide the receipt from the pharmacy, not the cash register receipt. The pharmacy receipt must have your name, doctor’s name, date of service, medication name, medication dosage and amount paid. Mail your receipt to Contract Health Services, P.O.
