Using your Over-The-Counter allowance
As a MyTruAdvantage member, you receive a quarterly allowance—$75 each quarter— that you can spend on select over-the-counter (OTC) products included in the CVS Caremark® catalog.
What are OTC products?
OTC products are trusted as a first line of defense in treating minor ailments. They are products you purchase (no prescription necessary) that can often help reduce doctor visits and save you money as compared to those that require a prescription.
OTC products are much more than pain relief and cold medications. Digestive aids, first aid, dental, eye and ear care products, and vitamins are also examples of OTC products and are included in the extensive CVS Caremark® catalog.
What if I don’t use all of my OTC allowance that quarter? Do I lose it?
You can rollover unused amounts into the next quarter, up to maximum of $150 per rollover.
Our plan allows up to $ 75 per quarter to purchase over-the-counter medication, including nicotine replacement therapy not already included in the Part D benefits. Unused balances at the end of each quarter can be rolled over into the next quarter, up to a maximum of $ 150. Any amount greater than $ 150 will not roll over from one quarter to the next. Benefit not used prior to December 31st within the plan year will be forfeited.
