Pharmacy benefit tips:
Know your plan
Your plan may require one or more of the following before you can fill your prescription:
- Prior authorization — approval to get a medication.
- Step therapy — trying one medication before another.
- Quantity limits — getting a certain amount of each prescription.
Check your prescription drug list (PDL)
Your PDL is a list of covered medications. The list is broken into sections called tiers. Choosing medications in lower tiers may save you money. You can also access your PDL at myuhc.com and the UnitedHealthcare® app and be sure to check it often.
Talk to your doctor
When you talk with your doctor, use the UnitedHealthcare® app to confirm coverage and costs. You can also talk about what you need to do to get your medication.
Save money
Generic medications usually have a lower co-pay than brand name medications. Ask your doctor if there is a generic for you.
Compare prices
Search for lower-cost alternatives. Just log in to myuhc.com, click on “Manage My Prescriptions” and select “Drug Pricing.” Or use the UnitedHealthcare® app.
