to an NALC Preferred Network or NALC CareSelect Network Retail Pharmacy.
- Present your NALC
Identification card.
- Verify that the pharmacist
has accurate information about you and your covered dependents.
- Pay the appropriate
coinsurance.
Using The Mail Order
Program
Your Mail Order Program
is a convenient and cost-effective way for you to order up to a
90-day supply of maintenance or long-term medication for direct
delivery to your home. Just pay the appropriate copayment per covered
generic or name brand drug(s). Follow this easy step-by-step procedure.

at an NALC CareSelect Network Pharmacy while you wait
for your order from the Mail Order Program
