Who handles my benefits?
Capital RX for Prescriptions
Cigna for Dental (Your CIGNA id# starts with D32)
General Vision Optical (Please note there is no card you can provide your SS# or DEA id# for identification)
Where can I find my DEA ID#?
Your unique DEA id# can be located on your prescription or dental cards and is used in place of your Social Security Number.
Divorce?
Upon a divorce your ex-spouse must be removed from the benefits immediately as they are no longer entitled to benefits. If they are not removed and there is usage after the date of divorce you will be responsible for any payment made on their behalf.
An ex-spouse is entitled to COBRA if interested. This allows them to continue dental, optical and prescription benefits for a cost.
