Am I parsing that incorrectly?
"Prescription drug coverage" has always covered prescription drugs, in my experience. I've never had a policy that would (to my knowledge) cover OTC meds.
- zaroth 13y agoToo late to edit my original post, but as you suspect, I'm trying to differentiate between prescription drugs like birth control, anti-depressants, statins, etc. which you buy at a pharmacy with a prescription, and medication administered in an inpatient/outpatient setting, which is also prescribed of course, but covered by the medical benefit not the pharmacy benefit.
