Help is here for State Health Plan members who want to empower themselves by lowering their health risks and reducing the possibility of health care gaps. Medco's new "safety net" online tool is available at no cost to send alerts when medication is running low or a refill is missed. The online tool updates members about medication safety and adherence risks, and provides access to a Medco specialist pharmacist 24/7. For convenience, the safety net tool can also print and share information with a physician. This online tool works whether the medication is purchased via mail or at a retail pharmacy.

Another new feature is the Rx Over-the-Counter Drug Interaction Checker, which looks for potentially dangerous interactions between over-the-counter medications and prescription drugs.

Registering with Medco is easy. Once enrolled, members can also receive personalized alert e-mails. Click here to complete your one-time registration or access your medco.com® account.  You will need your prescription ID card and a recent prescription number. For questions, contact Medco Customer Service at 1-800-336-5933.
