Prescription Drug Information
UnitedHealthcare insureds may have access to a comprehensive and quality pharmacy benefit provided through the UnitedHealthcare Pharmacy Benefit Program. UnitedHealthcare uses Medco Health
Solutions, Inc. (Medco) for certain pharmacy benefit services. If your permanent ID card includes the "Medco" logo your plan includes this program and the following applies. You can also review
your plan brochure to see if your plan includes this program.
Make informed decisions When selecting a medication, you and your doctor should consult the UnitedHealthcare Prescription Drug List (PDL). The PDL includes most brand and
generic medications approved by the FDA. Medications may be placed on different "tiers" based on their overall value, with Tier 1 being the most affordable tier option. To determine if a medication
is covered by your pharmacy benefit, its tier level and available lower cost alternatives, log in to "My Account".
After you log in, you can access:
- Payment, pricing and coverage information about most prescription medications
- Information about lower cost medication alternatives
- A list of participating retail pharmacies by ZIP code
- Your prescription history
Choose a pharmacy that's in the network To get the most from your pharmacy benefit, you should use a participating retail pharmacy. More than 60,000 retail pharmacies are in our network,
including both chain and independent stores located across the United States. Filling prescriptions at pharmacies outside our network will increase your cost.
Fill prescriptions at a participating retail pharmacy Simply show your ID card to the pharmacist. Your pharmacist will tell you how much you owe for the prescription.
