Prescription Drug Coverage
Prescription drug coverage is outlined in the Summary Comparison of Medical and Dental Benefits.
Coverage Highlights:
- If a generic drug is available, but the member chooses to purchase the brand name drug, the plan will pay its share of the generic cost.
- Members will generally pay less if they use a University of Utah Health Pharmacy.
- Prescription drug coverage under all options of the Employee Health Care Plan is creditable coverage under Medicare D. Employees and their family members who are eligible for Medicare do not need to enroll in Medicare D coverage as long as they remain enrolled in one of these options.
- The Employee Health Care Plan only allows coordination of prescription drug benefits between two University (non-UUHC) employees who cover each other and all eligible family members.
- If you qualify, complete the Certification of Dual University Coverage form and return it to Human Resources.
