What is the purpose of the Wellcare Pharmacy Network?

The purpose of the Wellcare Pharmacy Network is to ensure access to multiple pharmacies. This network is designed to provide members with a variety of pharmacy options so they can obtain their medications conveniently and in a timely manner. By having a wide range of participating pharmacies, Wellcare aims to enhance the availability of prescription drugs and supports the overall health and well-being of its members. Access to multiple pharmacies can help reduce barriers to obtaining necessary medications, thus improving medication adherence and health outcomes for individuals in the network.

While limiting prescription options would negatively impact member access to necessary medications, managing billing for medications or overseeing pharmacy operations are not the primary motivations for establishing the pharmacy network. The focus is firmly on providing members with choices and accessibility to meet their healthcare needs efficiently.
