Notes:
 
  • We waive your cost-share for generic contraceptives and for brand-name contraceptives that have no generic equivalent or generic alternative, as listed in each therapeutic class under the HRSA guidelines, when purchased from a Preferred retail pharmacy. You may seek an exception for any contraceptive that is not available with zero-member cost-share. Your provider will need to complete the Contraceptive Exception Form under Pharmacy Forms found on our website at www.fepblue.org/claim-forms. If you have questions about the exception process, call 800-624-5060. If you have difficulty accessing contraceptive coverage or other reproductive healthcare, you can contact contraception@opm.gov.
