Effective September 1, 2015, PEEHIP will only cover Part D ingredient(s) in Part D compounds for members enrolled in PEEHIP’s Medicare GenerationRx Part D Prescription Drug Plan. 

Dear Pharmacy,  

In an effort to support continued access to affordable prescription drug benefits, PEEHIP has elected – on a temporary basis - to preferentially cover the brand version of NEXIUM over generic ESOMEPRAZOLE MAGNESIUM for PEEHIP’s non-Medicare eligible members. Per PEEHIP’s direction, we request pharmacies to dispense brand name NEXIUM for all new and refill ESOMEPRAZOLE MAGNESIUM prescriptions from 04/01/15 to at least 08/18/15 for Alabama non-Medicare eligible PEEHIP members. Pharmacies will continue to receive brand reimbursement for these fills.
