1 Your plan costs, including premiums and drug costs, may be different if you get Extra Help from the government or if you have Medicaid. For more information, see "Can I Get Help with my Medicare Prescription Drug Costs?"
2 This document is the Annual Notice of Changes for this plan. If you are a current plan member and have been switched to a different plan, this document may not apply to you. If you have any questions, please call Customer Service at the number on your member ID card.
3 During the Coverage Gap, amounts displayed for brand name drugs include a 70% manufacturer discount. However, this discount is based on pharmaceutical manufacturers' participation and may not apply to all brand drugs. You pay 25% of the total cost for brand name drugs, for any drug tier during the Coverage Gap.
The 25% drug coinsurance within the Coverage Gap is based on an assessment that the drug is defined as a generic drug according to Part D rules.
If your drug is not eligible for coverage under Medicare Part D, you will pay the full cost of the drug.

More Information:
The list of covered drugs was last updated on 11/01/2023.
NOTE: Prescription drugs that are not covered by the plan or that cannot be provided as part of standard Medicare prescription drug coverage are shown as "not covered" in the chart.
Copay or coinsurance amounts may change if you have a limited income.
The drug costs displayed are estimates and may vary based on the specific quantity, strength and/or dosage of the medication and the pharmacy you use. It may be important to look beyond your current needs at the value of having Medicare prescription drug insurance. Enrolling when you become eligible will help give you peace of mind, should your drug needs become more significant in the future. It may also help you avoid the Medicare late enrollment penalty.
The formulary, pharmacy network, and/or provider network may change at any time. You will receive notice when necessary.
The pharmacy directory is current as of the first Sunday of each month.
All pharmacies may not be listed in this directory. Inclusion of a pharmacy does not guarantee that the pharmacy is open, is at the same location as listed in this online directory or is included in the network. The pharmacy network may change at any time. You will receive notice when necessary. Pharmacies on this list are called “network pharmacies” because UnitedHealthcare has made arrangements with them to provide prescription drugs to Plan members. In most cases, your prescriptions are covered under your plan only if they are filled at a network pharmacy or through our mail order pharmacy service. You are not required to continue using the same pharmacy to fill your prescriptions and may switch to any other network pharmacy. Prescriptions can be filled at non-network pharmacies under certain circumstances as described in your Evidence of Coverage. To get a complete description of your prescription coverage, including how to fill your prescriptions, please review the Evidence of Coverage and your plan’s formulary. Please contact UnitedHealthcare for details.
UnitedHealthcare has contracts with pharmacies that equal or exceed CMS requirements for pharmacy access in your area.
