                                                  PHARMACY UPDATE

New prescription drug cards will be mailed to Wabash members in December from EHO.  Your new EHO member ID will be four zeros followed by the last five numbers of your social security number.  The new cards will be effective January 1, 2008.  Remember to show your pharmacist this new card so that their records can be updated as necessary.
