2024 Evidence of Coverage for UnitedHealthcare® Group Medicare Advantage PEBB Balance (PPO) Chapter 5: Using the plan’s coverage for Part D prescription drugs 158 · Prescription vitamins and mineral products, except prenatal vitamins and fluoride preparations. · Drugs used for the treatment of sexual or erectile dysfunction. · Drugs used for treatment of anorexia, weight loss, or weight gain. · Outpatient drugs for which the manufacturer seeks to require that associated tests or monitoring services be purchased exclusively from the manufacturer as a condition of sale. Please note: Your plan sponsor may have elected to offer some of the drugs listed above to you as an additional benefit. If so, you will receive additional information about the drugs they have chosen to offer to you separately, in your plan materials. In addition, if you are receiving Extra Help from Medicare to pay for your prescriptions, the Extra Help program will not pay for the drugs not normally covered. (Please refer to the plan’s Drug List or call Customer Service for more information.) However, if you have drug coverage through Medicaid, your state Medicaid program may cover some prescription drugs not normally covered in a Medicare drug plan. Please contact your state Medicaid program to determine what drug coverage may be available to you. (You can find phone numbers and contact information for Medicaid in Chapter 2, Section 6.) Section 8 Filling a prescription Section 8.1 Provide your UnitedHealthcare member ID information To fill your prescription, provide your UnitedHealthcare member ID information, which can be found on your membership card, at the network pharmacy you choose. The network pharmacy will automatically bill the plan for our share of your drug cost. You will need to pay the pharmacy your share of the cost when you pick up your prescription. Section 8.2 What if you don’t have your UnitedHealthcare member ID information with you? If you don’t have your plan membership information with you when you fill your prescription, you or the pharmacy can call the plan to get the necessary information, or you can ask the pharmacy to look up your plan enrollment information. If the pharmacy is not able to get the necessary information, you may have to pay the full cost of the prescription when you pick it up. (You can then ask us to reimburse you for our share. See Chapter 7, Section 2 for information about how to ask the plan for reimbursement.) Section 9 Part D drug coverage in special situations Section 9.1 What if you’re in a hospital or a skilled nursing facility for a stay that is covered by the plan? If you are admitted to a hospital or to a skilled nursing facility for a stay covered by the plan, we will generally cover the cost of your prescription drugs during your stay. Once you leave the hospital or skilled nursing facility, the plan will cover your prescription drugs as long as the drugs meet all of our rules for coverage described in this Chapter.
