UnitedHealthcare Pharmacy Management Program Plan
UnitedHealthcare’s pharmacy management program provides clinical pharmacy services that promote choice, accessibility and value. The program offers a broad network of pharmacies (more than 50,000 nationwide) to provide convenient access to medications.
While most pharmacies participate in our network, you should check first. Call your pharmacist or visit our online pharmacy service at www.myuhc.com. The online service offers you home delivery of prescriptions, ability to view personal benefit coverage, access health and well being information, and even location of network retail neighborhood pharmacies by zip code.
Copayment per Prescription Order or Refill
For a single Copayment, you may receive a Prescription Drug Product up to the stated supply limit. Some products are subject to additional supply limits. You are responsible for paying the lower of the applicable Copayment or the retail Network Pharmacy’s Usual and Customary Charge, or the lower of the applicable Copayment or the mail order Pharmacy’s Prescription Drug Cost.
Also note that some Prescription Drug Products require that you notify us in advance to determine whether the Prescription Drug Product meets the definition of a Covered Health Service and is not Experimental, Investigational or Unproven.
Our Preferred Drug List includes those drugs available to you at the most affordable cost. It is one of the best ways to maximize your prescription drug benefits. The drug list, developed by physicians and pharmacists on our national Pharmacy and Therapeutics committee, includes a wide selection of generic and brand name prescription medications commonly prescribed by physicians. The Preferred Drug List is updated throughout the year. The most current version is available at our online pharmacy at www.myuhc.com
Other Important Cost Sharing Information
If you purchase Prescription Drug Product from a Non-Network pharmacy, you are responsible for any difference between what the Non-Network pharmacy charges and the amount we would have paid for the same Prescription Drug Product dispensed by a Network pharmacy.
