My insurance will switch to Kaiser on January 1st. I’m wondering what happens to my prescription refill that I’ve ordered now but likely won’t be ready for pickup until after the new year. Will it be covered by my current insurance since I ordered the refill today, or will it not be covered because it will be picked up after my current insurance ends?

Hello, prescriptions are covered by the insurance plan that is in effect at the time they are filled or picked up, rather than when they are ordered. Since you ordered the refill today but you will not pick it up until after your insurance switches to Kaiser on January 1st, it is likely that your current insurance will cover the prescription. However, it is essential to verify this with your pharmacy and insurance provider to ensure there are no issues with coverage during the transition period. You may need to provide your new insurance information to the pharmacy when you pick up the prescription to ensure proper billing and coverage.

Most likely you should wait for the new year to have the prescription refill. Else, you will just be stressed up

Your prescription will now be covered by the new insurance.
Some insurance companies have a policy where they offer a one time refill once your policy with them ends
