UnitedHealthcare – Optum





            Pharmacy Plan – Bin# 610279


            As part of Insurity’s health plan, we have a pharmacy benefit manager through Optum. Although you use the same member
            ID card for both medical and pharmacy, Optum is the company that manages our prescription medication costs for covered
            members on our plans. Below is an outline of how our prescription drug plan works. We have three different prescription
            tiers, based on the associated formularies:

            O   Tier 1 Rx – Lower-cost medications that provide the highest overall value. Mostly generic drugs. Some brand-name
               drugs may also be included.
            O   Tier 2 Rx – Mid-range cost medications that provide good overall value. A mix of brand-name and generic drugs.
            O   Tier 3 Rx – Highest-cost medications that provide the lowest overall value. Mostly brand-name drugs, as well as
               some generics.

            Insurity uses Step Therapy as part of our pharmacy program. Step Therapy is a way to mitigate the high costs of prescription
            medication when an effective, lower cost alternative is available.

            If you have already tried lower cost alternatives or if there is a clinical reason for you to be taking the higher cost medication,
            your provider can contact UHC/Optum to discuss available options.
            You can check your medications and whether Step Therapy is required by clicking here:
