Standard Plan

If you were on the standard plan when you retired, this is the plan you were eligible for as a retiree.

Retirees on the standard plan and under 65 have two choices for their medical plan: the Green PPO Plan and the Tan High Deductible Plan. 

However, there are differences in how the plans work and your out of pocket expenses.

Tan High Deductible Plan

  • Lower Premiums
  • Higher deductible
  • Once the deductible is met, you pay 90% coinsurance
  • You must reach the deductible before the copays for prescriptions kick in
  • You can contribute to an HSA

Green PPO Plan

  • Higher Premiums
  • Lower deductible
  • Once the deductible is met, you pay 80% coinsurance
  • Copays for prescriptions kicks in on day one.  You do not have to meet the deductible first
  • You do not need to reach your deductible for office visit copays to kick in

Prescription Plan Information

Whenever possible, generics provide the most economical way to fill your prescriptions. 

Rockwood is enrolled in the Smart90 program through Express Scripts. To fill maintenance medications and receive the discount, you have the option of filling through home delivery from Express Scripts Pharmacy or at a participating retail pharmacy, but it must be a 90-day supply. You will be allowed to fill a 30-day supply of your maintenance medicine two times. After that, you will be required to fill your medication at a 90-day supply. If you continue to fill a 30-day supply, then you will be responsible for 100 percent of the cost of the medication. When filling a 90-day supply, you receive copay savings.

If you are considering changing plans during Open Enrollment and need to know what the cost of medications are on the other plan, click here.  Select either Tan or Green, click on Price a Medication, type in the name of the medication and your demographics and you should be able to find the costs of your medications on the other plan. 

Please refer to the tables below:

Pharmacy Benefits 30-day Supply 90-day Supply 90-Day Supply
Home Delivery
Generic copay $10 $20 $20
Preferred copay $35 $70 $70
Non-preferred copay $60 $120 $120
Pharmacy Benefit 1-30 day supply 31-60 day supply 61-90 day supply
Specialty Medications 10%
with $100 max
10%
with $200 max
10%
with $300 max

For the Green plan, the deductible does not apply. You will receive copay savings from day one.  For the Tan plan, the deductible must be met before the copay is applied. This means when you are on the Tan plan, you pay the full cost for your prescriptions until you reach your deductible. 

If you are considering changing plans during Open Enrollment and need to know what the cost of medications are on the other plan, click here.  Select either Tan or Green, click on Price a Medication, type in the name of the medication and your demographics and you should be able to find the costs of your medications on the other plan.
