To help make your care transfer experience easier, start with this checklist of considerations:

  • Fill all open prescriptions with your current provider prior to your plan’s start date
  • Initiate a transfer of your prescriptions to a new network pharmacy if necessary
  • If switching providers, request a transfer of medical records prior to your start date
  • Consider whether you’ll need to continue active treatment for a chronic or acute condition
