ALERT! The member pays the full cost for noncovered prescription drugs. If the member purchases covered prescription drugs from a non-network pharmacy, the plan pays under the normal prescription drug benefit as described in the “What you pay for prescription drugs” section. Prescriptions purchased from an excluded pharmacy will not be covered. See the definition of “Excluded pharmacy.” Respite care Respite care is continuous care of more than four hours a day to give caretakers temporary relief from caring for a member who is homebound or in hospice. The plan covers these services at 100 percent of the allowed amount after you meet your deductible, up to 14 visits per the member’s lifetime. Death with Dignity The Washington Death with Dignity Act allows terminally ill adults seeking to end their life to request lethal doses of prescription drugs. These terminally ill patients must be Washington residents who have less than six months to live. For more information about this Act, see chapter 70.245 RCW. Care described under this Act includes services covered by UMP, subject to standard plan requirements. If you have questions about medical services UMP covers, contact UMP Customer Service. If needed, UMP may assign a case manager to support you. If you have questions about prescription drugs UMP covers, contact WSRxS Customer Service.
