Do generic drugs really
work as well as name brands?
Yes. Even though they may look different, generics have the same key ingredients as their brand-name counterparts, and often cost less. Many generic drugs are even made in the same manufacturing plants as the brand-name version. The FDA’s Office of Generic Drugs follows a rigorous review process to make sure that a brand-name medication and its proposed generic equivalent
▪ Contain the same active/key ingredient
▪ Have the same strength
▪ Use the same dosage form (for instance, a tablet, capsule, or liquid)
▪ Use the same route of administration (for instance, oral, topical, or injectable).
Talk to your doctor about whether a generic medication is right for you.

Explanation of benefits
When your provider submits a claim for services you received, an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) is created. An EOB is not a bill; it’s a document designed to help you understand:
▪ The overall cost of your care
▪ What the health plan paid for your care
▪ Any out-of-pocket expenses you’re responsible to cover
Your EOB will also show any remaining balances for deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses for the current month and year to date. (Prescription claims are not included.) If you owe a balance, you may receive a bill for the amount due.
Your EOBs are available in your member portal shortly after your doctor visit. If you’d rather receive your EOBs by mail, log in to the Member Portal and select update preferences.
Where to find your EOB in your Member Portal.
