Argus: MAC Pricing Changes (West Virginia)

Effective: October 3,2015

What You Need to Know

Attention Argus WEST VIRGINIA Network Pharmacies:

The MCO (Managed Care Organizations for Medicaid) requires that you have the option to be notified in advance of changes to the generic pricing utilized for West Virginia Family Health beneficiaries. Later this fall, we will be implementing enhancements to our Argus Pharmacy Portal which will allow you to subscribe to an alert system which will notify you when changes to the MAC pricing are being made. When that enhancement is completed, we will send another bulletin with instructions on how to register for those alerts.

In the interim, we will be emailing the MAC changes to you at this email address. If you wish to OPT OUT, please reply to the email notification and add "OPT OUT" to the subject line before sending. We will gladly remove you from our distribution list.

Action Required

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to our MAC team via email to macinquiries@argushealth.com.
