Covered California Bronze 60 HSA Rx Benefits
The Covered California Bronze 60 HSA plan does not include a separate Rx deductible. Rather, the medical deductible applies to all Rx regardless of tier. So, in order for coverage to kick in, the plan deductible ($7,050 for individuals, $14,100 for families) must first be met. Once the plan deductible is met, the member will pay 0% of the cost of the prescription.

| Individual | $7,050 deductible for medical and drugs |
| Family | $14,100 deductible for medical and drugs |
| Tier 1 (generic) Rx Copay | No charge after deductible |
| Tier 2 (preferred brand) Rx Copay | No charge after deductible |
| Tier 3 (non-preferred brand) Rx Copay | No charge after deductible |
| Tier 4 (specialty) Rx Copay | No charge after deductible |
It is comforting to know that if you take multiple medications, expensive medications or you experience a year in which you need a lot of prescriptions the most you will pay for anything (prescription drug costs included) in a year, is the out-of-pocket maximum which is the same as the deductible on this plan.
Example 1:
You’re prescribed a Tier 1(generic) drug by your Doctor that costs $100. You will pay the full $100 since the drug cost is less than the deductible.
Example 2:
You’re prescribed a Tier 4 (specialty) drug that costs $7,500. You will pay $7,050 of the cost to cover the deductible. Your total cost would be $7,050.
Later that that year you’re prescribed another Tier 4 (specialty) drug by your Doctor. The cost of this drug is also $7,500. Since you had previously met your year deductible, the cost for it will be $0.
