Contact your insurance provider directly. Walmart’s pharmacy cannot determine your coverage. Call their customer service number or log into your online account to verify Viagra’s inclusion in your formulary. You’ll need your prescription information handy.
Understanding Your Plan
Check your plan’s specific details regarding prescription drug coverage. Many plans require pre-authorization for medications like Viagra. This process can involve submitting paperwork to your insurance company before receiving your prescription.
Walmart’s Role
Walmart pharmacies will process your prescription once your insurance approves it. They can inform you of any co-pays or out-of-pocket costs. However, they don’t control your insurance policy’s specifics.
Helpful Information to Have Ready
Gather your insurance card, prescription information (including the drug name and dosage), and your member ID before contacting your insurance provider. Having this information readily available will expedite the process.
Example of a Potential Co-pay Structure
| Tier 1 | $10 |
| Tier 2 | $25 |
| Tier 3 | $50 |
Note: This is a sample co-pay structure; your actual costs will vary depending on your specific insurance plan.
Generic Options
Consider asking your doctor about generic alternatives to Viagra. Generic medications often have lower co-pays or are covered more readily by insurance plans.
