The Plan offers a cost-saving prescription drug program for long-term maintenance medication through Postal Prescription Services (PPS) or Option 90.

This program provides:

1. Prescriptions delivered to your address or the option to pick up the prescription at a Kroger owned pharmacy locally known as Fred Meyer or QFC.
2. Lower out-of-pocket expense per prescription; and
3. A 90-day supply.
