Yes. Coverage for prescription drugs for in-network pharmacies is automatically included when you enroll in any of our medical plan options.

No, but if you’re eligible to participate in a Health Funding Account and choose not to, you could be missing out. That’s because WFM makes a significant contribution to both accounts to help you lower your out-of-pocket medical expenses for the year. The company contribution varies based on the plan you choose and your coverage tier.
For more information on these two accounts, review the Annual Benefits Enrollment Guide and take the quiz that can help you decide which makes more sense for you.
If you’ve used nicotine or nicotine products in the last six months, you will pay a $30 per-paycheck nicotine surcharge in addition to your medical plan contribution. Nicotine is defined as the use of cigarettes, pipes, cigars, chewing tobacco, snuff, e-cigarettes or any other type of smoking or smokeless nicotine.
If you are subject to the Nicotine Surcharge for a plan year, and you complete the Quit for Life program at any time during that plan year, you will begin paying the non-nicotine user contribution rates in the month following your completion of the program. Additionally, you will receive a refund for any previous surcharge payments that you made in the plan year. If it is unreasonably difficult due to a health factor for you to meet the requirements of the Quit for Life nicotine cessation program, or it is medically inadvisable for the individual to attempt to meet the requirements of the Quit for Life nicotine cessation program, the Nicotine Surcharge may be waived if you submit a Nicotine Surcharge Physician Affidavit no later than October 1st of the plan year (or within 60 days of initial enrollment, if later). The Affidavit can be found on the Benefits Enrollment Portal on myapps.wfm.com. Please contact Ask TMS or call 833-4-ASKTMS (833-427-5867) Monday – Friday 8 a.m. – 6 p.m. CT with any questions.
