PROVIDER REFERENCE MANUAL: PHARMACY PLANS
MARCH 2024
This pharmacy provider manual has been developed by Select Health/Scripius to assist
network pharmacies in all aspects of providing pharmacy services to covered members.
Periodically, this manual will be updated with new or modified information. To ensure
accuracy and usability of this manual, please incorporate the revised information as
instructed. This manual has been assembled to provide administrative information only
and is not meant to supersede any local or federal regulations.
Select Health/Scripius administers a variety of plans including Commercial, Small
Employer, Individual, Medicaid, Medicare, and other Government sponsored plans.
The Select Health pharmacy network is comprised of nationally contracted chain
and independent pharmacies located in all 50 states. Covered members with Select
Health prescription drug coverage must have their prescriptions filled at a participating
pharmacy to obtain the maximum benefit. Covered members traveling outside their local
service area must also use a participating pharmacy to obtain the maximum benefit.
Pharmacies participating in the Select Health pharmacy network are eligible to fill
prescriptions for Select Health plans and/or lines of business identified in the pharmacy
network agreement, unless participation is restricted by the plan. For some plans, the
prescriber writing the prescription must be participating in the plan.
The information included in this provider manual is considered confidential and
proprietary to Select Health and provided for business purposes only. Provider is not
authorized to copy, reproduce, distribute, or otherwise share the information contained in
the manual except as authorized by the pharmacy network agreement.
Select Health has established service, credentialing, and operational standards for
participating pharmacies to ensure delivery of quality service to all covered members.
Patient service standards include that pharmacies/pharmacists will:
• Maintain patient profiles for prescription medication dispensed.
• Not destroy any patient record produced, unless prior written consent is obtained
from Select Health, for a period of at least five (5) years.
• React appropriately to online edits, which may affect the patient’s medical status or
coverage.
• Provide instruction to the patient on the use of medication, including information
based on the online drug messages, before dispensing of each prescription,
according to state and federal law.
• Provide all drug products covered by the benefit plans, including products normally
stocked and those that require special order, if possible.
• Have established formal prescription quality assurance and error prevention measures.
