You may use any pharmacy in the network and are responsible for the appropriate copayment. If you have your prescription filled at a Denver Health and Hospital Authority pharmacy, you pay a lower copay. However, Denver Health and Hospital Authority pharmacies can only fill prescriptions written by Denver Health and Hospital Authority physicians. See your handbook for details.

DHMP POS uses a network of participating pharmacies that includes the Denver Health pharmacies and most of the large pharmacy chains (e.g., King Soopers,Walgreens, Safeway, K-Mart, Rite-Aid and Albertsons), as well as locally-owned and operated pharmacies. If you would like to locate a pharmacy, please call DHMP Member Services at 720-956-2100 or 800-700-8140 or go online to www.caremark.com and use the pharmacy locator option.

Beginning in 2009, POS members will be able to participate in a Mail Order Prescription plan through Caremark.  For Frequently Asked Questions about this plan, click here.

The DHMP POS plan uses a drug formulary for all prescription medications. DHMP requests all pharmacies, whether Denver Health and Hospital Authority pharmacies or pharmacies outside of Denver Health and Hospital Authority, to fill prescriptions using this formulary. In cases where the prescribed medication is not on the formulary, and is not specifically excluded from coverage, your provider may submit a request for a formulary override by faxing a Pharmacy Request Form to 720-956-2303. All formulary override requests will be reviewed by the DHMP medical director who will notify the member and/or provider of the decision.
