Prescription Plan

Our prescription carrier is Express Scripts.

Express Scripts Prescription Hotline number is 1-844-424-8882

NBOE does not participate with the School Employees’ Health Benefits Program administered by the State of NJ.

If you enroll onto the medical NBOE NJ Educators Plan (NJEP), or NBOE Garden State Health Plan (GSHP), prescription drug coverage is already included on the combine plan. 

All medical plan participants have prescription drug coverage based on their selected plan.

A way to save money is by requesting generics and/or mail order options when available.
