Does Wellcare Have a Preferred Pharmacy List?
As of 2024, the Wellcare preferred pharmacy list is relatively short, and it includes the Walgreens, CVS, a number of grocery store pharmacies and some independent pharmacies, as well as a mail-service pharmacy.
In 2024, Express Scripts Pharmacy became the Wellcare preferred home delivery mail order pharmacy, replacing CVS Caremark. Amazon remains an in-network pharmacy, but is no longer a Wellcare preferred pharmacy.
Current plan members can use the online Wellcare pharmacy lookup tool to find pharmacies in their area who are part of their plan network. Plan members can also request to be mailed a Wellcare provider and pharmacy directory.
How Is the Wellcare Pharmacy Different From an In-Network Pharmacy?
When you use a standard in-network pharmacy with a Wellcare Advantage (Medicare Part C) or Medicare Part D plan, you get access to standard cost-sharing. That means prices are lower than you'd pay without insurance. If you use a pharmacy that's preferred by your Wellcare plan, you may pay even lower out-of-pocket costs.
Wellcare standard in-network pharmacies offer drug coverage benefits that meet or exceed the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) rules.
Your copay for covered drugs may vary based on the area. Make sure to compare the costs for all potential locations — copays may change when your chosen in-network pharmacy also provides a mail-service option. The Wellcare network contains more than 60,000 pharmacies, including:
- Retail outlets
- Mail-service pharmacies
- Major chain pharmacies
- Independent pharmacies
- Indian Health Service/Tribal/Urban Indian Health Program pharmacies
- Pharmacies in long-term care facilities
