2023-2024 Brown University Pre-College Summer Program (Accident Only)
Plan Summary
Carrier Name: Wellfleet
This plan is only available to students taking a pre-college summer course.
Your Insurance plan’s Pharmacy Benefit Manager identifies where you can have your prescriptions filled (“participating pharmacies”), including both national chain and local pharmacies. Additionally, the Pharmacy Benefit Manager will identify what your cost will be for any drug that you may be prescribed (referred to as the plan “formulary” or “Prescription Drug List/PDL”). Your health insurance plan brochure will contain information about costs associated with various tiers of prescription drugs, and then you can the links to your plan’s lookup tools to determine your out-of-pocket cost.
The specific cost or tier-level of a particular drug may change over time, and the formulary governing your insurance plan may change 2-4 times a year.
Mail Order service may also be available, allowing up to 90 days of a maintenance medication to be delivered directly to you.

The Claims Company is the organization that pays insurance claims on behalf of the insurance company. In some cases, the insurance company and the claims company may be the same organization.
We encourage you to create an account with your insurance plan’s claims company directly on their website, as doing so will allow you to view your claims activity and respond electronically to any requests for information that may be necessary.
In most cases, you will not need to submit a claim for reimbursement directly, as your doctor, pharmacy or other healthcare provider will submit claims directly on your behalf, based on the information provided on your health insurance ID Card. However, if you have paid out of pocket for a claim or did not have your insurance card available, you may need to complete a claim form and submit for reimbursement of amounts you have paid directly.
