At UnitedHealthcare, we want to help you better
understand your medication options.
Your pharmacy benefit offers flexibility and choice in determining the right medication
for you. To help you get the most out of your pharmacy benefit, we've included some of
the most commonly asked questions about the Prescription Drug List.
What is a Prescription Drug List (PDL)?
This document is a list of commonly prescribed medications. Drugs are listed by common categories
or class. They are placed into cost levels known as tiers. It includes both brand and generic prescription
medications approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Please note: Where differences are noted between this PDL and your benefit plan documents, the
benefit plan documents will rule. It is not a complete list of medications, and not all medications listed
may be covered under your plan. Please look at your benefit plan documents provided by your employer
or health plan to see what medications are covered under your plan. You may also log on to myuhc.com or
call the toll-free member phone number on the back of your health plan ID card for more information.
How do I use my Prescription Drug List?
When choosing a medication, you and your doctor should consult the PDL. It will help you and your
doctor choose the most cost-effective prescription drugs. This guide tells you if a medication is generic
or brand, and if special programs apply. Bring this list with you when you see your doctor. It is organized
by common medical conditions. Medications are then listed alphabetically.
If your medication is not listed in this document, please visit myuhc.com or call the toll-free member
phone number on the back of your health plan ID card.
What are tiers?
Tiers are the different cost levels you pay for a medication. Each tier is assigned a cost, which is
determined by your employer or health plan. This is how much you will pay when you fill a prescription.
Tier 1 medications are your lowest-cost options. If your medication is placed in Tier 2 or 3, look to see if
there is a Tier 1 option available. Discuss these options with your doctor.
Check your benefit plan documents to find out your specific pharmacy plan costs.
Drug Tier
Helpful Tips
Lower-cost drugs . Use Tier 1 drugs for the lowest Lowest Cost
Some brands and generics out-of-pocket costs .
are also included .
Mix of brands and Use Tier 2 drugs, instead of Tier 3 to help reduce yourout-of-pocket costs .
Mostly higher-cost brand Many Tier 3 drugs have Highest Cost
as well as select generic lower-cost options in Tier 1 or 2 . Ask your doctor if they could work for you .
Please note: Some plans may have two or four tiers, while others may not have any. If you have a high
deductible plan, the tier cost levels may apply once you hit your deductible. Refer to your enrollment and
plan materials on myuhc.com, or call the toll-free number of the back of your health plan ID card for
more information about your benefit plan.
When does the Prescription Drug List change?
• Medications may move to a lower tier at any time. • Medications may move to a higher tier when a generic becomes available.
• Medications may move to a higher tier or be excluded from coverage most often on January 1 or July 1.
When a medication changes tiers, you may have to pay a different amount for that medication.
For the most up-to-date list, call customer service at the number on the back of your ID card.
Programs and Limits
Some medications are noted with letters next to them. The letters refer to our pharmacy benefit
programs. Your benefit plan determines how these medications are covered and may differ than what is
noted in the PDL. Call the number for Member Services listed on the back of your ID card if you have
any questions about your prescription drug coverage.

To learn more about a pharmacy program or to find out if it applies to you, please visit myuhc.com or
call the toll-free member phone number on the back of your health plan ID card.
Why are some medications excluded from coverage?
Medications may be excluded from coverage under your pharmacy benefit when it works the same or
similar as another prescription medication or an over-the-counter (OTC) medication. There may be
other medication options available.
Should I talk to my doctor about over-the-counter (OTC)
medications?
An over-the-counter (OTC) medication may be the right treatment for some conditions. Talk to your
doctor about available OTC options.
What is the difference between brand-name and generic
medications?
Generic medications contain the same active ingredients (what makes the medication work) as brand-
name medications, but they often cost less. Once the patent of a brand-name medication ends, the FDA
can approve a generic version with the same active ingredients. These types of medications are known
as generic medications. Sometimes, the same company that makes a brand-name medication also makes
the generic version.
Is it a generic or brand name drug?
The drug list shows brand name drugs in bold type (for example, Crestor) and generic drugs in plain
type (for example, simvastatin).
What if my doctor writes a brand-name prescription?
The next time your doctor gives you a prescription for a brand-name medication, ask if a generic
equivalent or lower-cost option is available and if it might be right for you. Generic medications are
usually your lowest-cost option, but not always. Visit myuhc.com to make sure.
Are you taking a specialty medication?
Specialty medications are high cost and may be used to treat rare or complex conditions. Please note, not
all specialty medications are listed in the PDL.
If you are taking a specialty medication that is on Tier 3, call the toll-free number on the back of your
health plan ID card to talk to a representative about finding lower-cost options.
OptumRx is the specialty pharmacy that can provide most of your specialty medications along with
helpful programs and services. Call OptumRx Specialty Pharmacy at 1-888-739-5820 and have your
prescriptions delivered right to your home or office.
What is Mail Service Member Select?
Your plan may include a home delivery program called Mail Service Member Select, which encourages you
to use the OptumRx® Mail Service Pharmacy for medication you take regularly. Choosing home delivery
can help you better manage the medication you take on a regular basis, and may save you time and money.

mail service and continue to fill your maintenance medications at a retail pharmacy. You can get up to
two fills at a retail pharmacy before you have to decide. However, please be aware that you must make a
decision about whether or not to enroll in Mail Service Member Select.
If you do nothing and continue to fill your medications at a retail pharmacy, you may pay up to 100%
of your drug cost until you make a decision and take action. You must confirm your decision every year.
