2024 Evidence of Coverage for UnitedHealthcare® Group Medicare Advantage PEBB Balance (PPO) Chapter 5: Using the plan’s coverage for Part D prescription drugs 147 Customer Service or use the Pharmacy Directory. You can also find information on our website at retiree.uhc.com/wapebb. What if you need a specialized pharmacy? Some prescriptions must be filled at a specialized pharmacy. Specialized pharmacies include: · Pharmacies that supply drugs for home infusion therapy. · Pharmacies that supply drugs for residents of a long-term care (LTC) facility. Usually, a LTC facility (such as a nursing home) has its own pharmacy. If you have any difficulty accessing your Part D benefits in an LTC facility, please contact Customer Service. · Pharmacies that serve the Indian Health Service / Tribal / Urban Indian Health Program (not available in Puerto Rico). Except in emergencies, only Native Americans or Alaska Natives have access to these pharmacies in our network. · Pharmacies that dispense drugs that are restricted by the FDA to certain locations or that require special handling, provider coordination, or education on their use. (Note: This scenario should happen rarely.) To locate a specialized pharmacy, look in your Pharmacy Directory or call Customer Service. Section 2.3 Using the plan’s preferred mail-order service Our plan’s preferred mail-order service allows you to order up to a 90-day supply for Tiers 1, 2, and 3, and up to a 30-day supply for Tier 4. To get order forms and information about filling your prescriptions by mail you may contact our preferred mail service pharmacy, OptumRx™. OptumRx can be reached at 1-888-279-1828, or for the hearing impaired, (TTY) 711, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Please reference your Pharmacy Directory to find the mail service pharmacies in our network. If you use a mail-order pharmacy not in the plan’s network, your prescription will not be covered. Usually a mail-order pharmacy order will be delivered to you in no more than 10 business days. However, sometimes your mail-order may be delayed. If your mail-order is delayed, please follow these steps: If your prescription is on file at your local pharmacy, go to your pharmacy to fill the prescription. If your delayed prescription is not on file at your local pharmacy, then please ask your doctor to call in a new prescription to your pharmacist. Or, your pharmacist can call the doctor’s office for you to request the prescription. Your pharmacist can call the Pharmacy help desk at 1-877-889-6510, (TTY) 711, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week if he/she has any problems, questions, concerns, or needs a claim override for a delayed prescription. New prescriptions the pharmacy receives directly from your doctor’s office. The pharmacy will automatically fill and deliver new prescriptions it receives from health care providers, without checking with you first, if either: · You used mail-order services with this plan in the past, or · You sign up for automatic delivery of all new prescriptions received directly from health care providers. You may request automatic delivery of all new prescriptions at any time by phone or mail.
