Get essential drug coverage and more with FollowMeᵀᴹ Basic Plan
With workplace benefits, you could fill a prescription and count on your plan to share the cost. You can continue to manage those costs with a FollowMeᵀᴹ Basic Plan, which provides essential prescription drug, vision and extended health care coverage.
You can apply at any age and stay covered for as long as you want. Your coverage is guaranteed with no medical questions when you apply and pay your first premium within 90 days of your employee benefits ending.*
FollowMeᵀᴹ Basic Plan may be right for you if you use prescription drugs occasionally, and don't need to cover dental services.
