Important update to your prescription benefits!
Beginning January 1, 2027, the Laborers’ Benefit Office will transition from Optum Rx to Express Scripts by Evernorth for prescription benefits.
Here's what you need to know:
• Your prescription copays for generic and brand-name medications will stay the same.
• You'll receive a new insurance card in mid-December to begin using January 1.
• If a medication you take isn't covered under the new formulary, Express Scripts will send you a letter explaining your options.
This change does not affect Medicare-covered retirees.
We'll continue sharing updates as the transition approaches. For questions, contact the Benefit Office at (314) 644-2777.
