Use your medical plan's prescription mail-order program for medication you take on a regular basis for a chronic condition.

Note: As of January 1, 2014, UC San Diego employees and retirees can receive a 90-day supply of their prescription maintenance medication(s) for the cost of a 60-day supply through one of our UC San Diego Health System pharmacies only if:

• The prescription is written from one of UC San Diego's Health System's hospital licensed facilities: Hillcrest Medical Center, Thornton Hospital, Sulpizio Cardiovascular Center, Medical Offices North, Medical Offices South, Moores Cancer Center or Cancer Services Encinitas.
• You have Health Net Blue & Gold, UC Care or the Blue Shield Health Savings Plan.

If you have received your care from a non-UC San Diego Health Systems provider, then you will be unable to fill your prescription at UC San Diego Health System pharmacies.

Learn more about the Health and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts if you have predictable out-of-pocket health care expenses not covered by your insurance plan, and child care expenses.

• Remember to check current limits and deadlines to take full advantage of the plans.
