Brothers & Sisters:
In the wake of the Coronavirus Pandemic (COVID-19), all Apprentice, CE & CW class cancellations have been EXTENDED.
Classes will resume on MAY 4TH unless circumstances prevent.
Note: We will be revisiting these cancellations on a weekly basis.
Please refer to the attached information from CDC regarding the Coronavirus (click on the links below)
Members who have symptoms of acute respiratory illness are recommended to stay home and not come to work until they are free of fever (100.4° F [37.8° C] or greater using an oral thermometer), signs of a fever, and any other symptoms for at least 24 hours, without the use of fever-reducing or other symptom-altering medicines (e.g. cough suppressants). Members must notify their supervisor and stay home if they are sick.
The prescription refill parameters have been extended to allow members/participants to refill maintenance medications when 50% of the current supply has been utilized (industry standard is 75%) at retail pharmacies and at the Sav-Rx Mail Order Pharmacy. Please note this does not apply to opioids or controlled substances. Participant cost share (copay) will apply.
