Finding a participating pharmacy on the U.S. Mainland
When traveling on the U.S. Mainland, you can pick up prescription drugs from one of HMSA's participating national pharmacies, making the same copayment as you would at a participating pharmacy in Hawaii. The pharmacy will file your claim with HMSA.
Some Mainland pharmacies that participate with HMSA are:
- Albertsons
- Costco
- Kmart
- Safeway
- Sam's Club
- Target
- Wal-Mart
- Walgreens
Note: Other pharmacies on the Mainland also participate with HMSA. Contact HMSA or the pharmacy at the specific location where you will receive services to confirm whether the pharmacy participates with HMSA.
In addition, keep the following information in mind before purchasing prescription drugs from a participating pharmacy on the Mainland:
- You will be required to have a written prescription to obtain your medication.
- Some states only allow pharmacies to accept prescriptions written by physicians licensed in their state.
- Some states only allow pharmacies to dispense a 30- or 60-day supply, regardless of the amount indicated on your prescription.
- If your medication is lost or stolen, you may be responsible for the entire cost of your medication to replace it.
- You can refill a prescription only when you have met the refill requirements of your drug plan. Most plans require you to use two-thirds of your prescription before obtaining another supply.
