Pharmacy and medical drug benefits

Ascension's prescription drug plan is automatically included in your Ascension Personalized Care medical coverage. MaxorPlus is your pharmacy provider for 2024. 

Important pharmacy benefit and ID card information

A MaxorPlus pharmacy ID card will be sent to each member for MaxorPlus’ drug plan in 2024. Your pharmacy ID card will arrive before January 1, 2024. This ID card is different from your medical card. Your pharmacy ID card must be used for coverage when filling prescriptions, and can only be used for prescription benefits. You cannot use your Ascension Personalized Care medical ID card to fill a prescription.

If you need a pharmacy replacement card, you can contact MaxorPlus support at 888-839-4448. To learn how to view your ID card digitally, click here.

Pharmacy network for prescription drugs

Ascension Personalized Care members can access the MaxorPlus network of pharmacies for their prescription drugs. MaxorPlus’s “Select Pharmacy Network” is composed of over 63,000 pharmacies nationwide that can assist members with their non-specialty prescriptions. This MaxorPlus Select pharmacy network for Ascension Personalized Care also includes over 60 Ascension Rx pharmacies across the country ready and available to assist members in Indiana, Kansas, Tennessee, and Texas.

Specialty pharmacies for specialty prescriptions (on the Rx benefit, not medical)

Specialty medications usually have a high cost and are used to treat chronic and complex medical conditions. They also may be drugs that are difficult to take or have special handling, shipping, and storage needs. They are often self-administered medications to treat conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, cystic fibrosis, cancer, or hemophilia. Specialty Pharmacy prescription services are available through Ascension Rx Specialty Pharmacy.

If you have been prescribed a “Limited Distribution Specialty Drug” please contact Ascension Rx Specialty Pharmacy at 855-292-1427 for assistance. Ascension Rx Specialty Pharmacy’s operating hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. EST. Please note that some Limited Distribution Specialty Drugs may require the use of a specialty pharmacy that is specifically assigned to that drug.

Mail order pharmacy for maintenance prescription drugs

Ascension Personalized Care members can access the Ascension Rx Home Delivery pharmacy for mail order prescriptions. You can have your maintenance prescriptions filled and delivered to your home. For more information, please visit Ascension Rx to sign up, and provide payment information.
