• Eligibility – All full-time employees who work at least thirty six (36) hours per week are eligible for medical coverage following 90 days from their date of hire. Part time employees are eligible after 90 days of service on a pro-rated contribution basis. Eligibility for this benefit is offered in compliance with the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

In the beginning of each policy year some of our employee’s, who have elected our Option #1 Medical Plan, experience issues with the processing of Prescription Drug Claims at their respective pharmacies.

Please note that this issue does not affect employees who elect our Option #2 Medical Plan since after the employee has met the annual deductible Prescription Drug Claims are paid at 100%.

Below we are outlining the issue and the solution under our Option #1 Medical Plan

The ISSUE arises when an employee presents their RX MasterCard for payment at the pharmacy. The pharmacy states that you must pay the Deductible In-Full because MVP states that your deductible is not fully-funded.  This is not accurate, your portion of the deductible, Single ($625) or Family ($1,250) is fully funded via your participation in the FSA Plan. Additionally, Ellenville Regional Hospital fully funds the balance of your deductible, Single ($1,875) or Family ($3,750) via the Health Re-Imbursement Account. The issue is not with you or the hospital, the issue rests with MVP and its Prescription Fulfillment Provider, CVS Specialty. The specific issue is that the MVP and the CVS claim payment systems are not fully integrated. MVP reports up-dated deductible amounts to CVS every 2 weeks.

The SOLUTION to the issue is to ask the pharmacy to call MVP and have the claim manually overridden. This means that MVP tells CVS that your deductible has been met and that you are not responsible for any deductibles.

If for any reason this approach fails to resolve your prescription, please contact the Human Resources or the Payroll office and we will have a representative intervene on your behalf.
