2021 Prescription Drug List Introduction The UnitedHealthcare Prescription Drug List (PDL)1 provides a list of the most commonly prescribed medications in various therapeutic classes. This list is intended for use with UnitedHealthcare health plans and affiliated companies’ pharmacy benefit plan designs. The PDL applies only to prescription medications dispensed to outpatients and does not include inpatient medications or medications obtained or administered in a physician’s office. The PDL does not define benefit coverage. Benefit coverage is decided by the member’s pharmacy benefit plan.2 This means that there may be medications listed on the PDL that are not covered under a particular member’s pharmacy benefit plan. You may also access PDL information by visiting our website at UHCprovider.com. Prescription Drug List medication overview Tier decisions are made by our PDL Management Committee based on clinical, economic and other factors. The PDL Management Committee is compromised of senior UnitedHealth Group physician and business leaders. The UnitedHealthcare Pharmacy & Therapeutics (P&T) Committee, comprising of physicians and pharmacists, reviews new and existing medications and provides clinical guidance to the PDL Management Committee. Guidance is based on similarities and differences compared with other medications that treat the same disease or condition. The tier placement of a medication on the PDL may change. While medications change tiers infrequently, such changes generally occur up to 3 times per calendar year. Additionally, when a brand-name medication becomes available as a generic, the tier status and coverage of the brand-name medication and its corresponding generic will be evaluated. When a medication changes tiers, your patient may be required to pay more or less for that medication. These changes may occur without prior notice to you or your patient. However, you may visit our website at UHCprovider.com or use the PreCheck MyScript® app for the most up-to-date information for a particular medication. Your patient can also find the most up-to-date tier status and cost3,8 information for a particular medication by visiting our member website at myuhc.com® and/or calling the toll-free member phone number located on their health plan ID card. Tier designations Prescription medications are categorized within 3 tiers on the PDL.4 Each tier is assigned a cost,³ which is determined by the member’s pharmacy benefit plan. You may refer to the PDL as a guide to select the most appropriate medication with the lowest member cost for your patients. Drug Tier Includes Helpful Tips Tier 1 $ Lowest cost Members can maximize their cost savings when you prescribe Tier 1 medications are your patient’s Tier 1 medications, if you decide they are appropriate for your lowest cost option. patient’s treatment. Tier 2 $$ Mid-range cost Consider Tier 2 medications if no Tier 1 medication is Tier 2 medications are your patient’s appropriate to treat your patient’s condition. mid-range cost option. Tier 3 $$$ Highest cost If your patient is currently taking a medication in Tier 3, you may Tier 3 medications are your patient’s want to determine if there is an appropriate alternative in Tier 1 highest cost option. or Tier 2. You and your patient make decisions about health care and medication treatments. If the member has a “closed” pharmacy benefit (such as a 2-tier pharmacy benefit plan that does not cover medications classified in Tier 3 of this PDL), medications in Tier 3 are generally not covered, except under certain processes consistent with applicable law. 2
Some members have a 4-tier prescription plan, and these medications are noted as T4 throughout the document. Members with a 4-tier prescription plan should refer to their enrollment materials, check the Medication Pricing/Coverage information on our member website or call the toll-free member phone number provided on their ID card for more information about their benefit plan. Not all medications are represented in this PDL. Only the most commonly prescribed medications are included. Over-the-counter and therapeutically equivalent medications For some conditions, you and your patient may decide that an over-the-counter (OTC) medication is the most appropriate treatment. According to UnitedHealthcare benefit design, OTC medications are defined as medications that do not require a prescription by federal or state law to be dispensed. In some instances, OTC medications are listed on the PDL for reference purposes only. OTC medications may cost less than the member’s out-of-pocket expense for prescription medications. Therapeutically Equivalent means that medications can be expected to produce essentially the same efficacy or adverse event profile. Our benefit designs allow us to exclude a medication if determined to be Therapeutically Equivalent to another covered product or OTC option. If the patient or physician requests a medication we have excluded based on determination of Therapeutic Equivalent, the patient may be required to pay the entire cost of the medication as it may not be covered under the member’s pharmacy benefit. Please refer to the member’s pharmacy benefit plan. Symbols E May be excluded from coverage or subject to Prior Authorization in Connecticut, New Jersey and New York H May be part of health care reform preventive5 H-PA May be part of health care reform preventive with prior authorization5 MC Multiple copay PA Prior authorization required6 RS May be eligible for the Refill and Save Program SL Supply limit SP Specialty medication ST Step therapy7 T4 May be covered on Tier 4 in select benefits Generic medication policy Many generic medications are included on the PDL in Tier 1; however, generic medications can be placed into any tier of the PDL. When a generic medication does not offer significant financial savings, it may be placed in the same tier or a higher tier than the brand medication. Generic medications are noted in italic font. Note that when a brand-name medication becomes available as a generic, that brand-name product may move to a higher tier or be excluded from coverage by the member’s plan. Members may be required to pay more for a prescription when a higher-tier brand-name product is dispensed. The member’s cost share is determined by the pharmacy benefit plan. When generic substitution conflicts with state regulations or restrictions, the pharmacist must obtain approval from the prescribing physician or other health care professional to substitute the generic equivalent. Specialty medications Some members may have coverage for self-administered injectable and oral specialty medications through their pharmacy benefit plan. You will find these medications included in the body of this document within the appropriate therapeutic categories. UnitedHealthcare has a specialty pharmacy program that requires most specialty medications to be obtained through a designated specialty pharmacy. These medications are noted by SP throughout the document. The specialty pharmacy program includes designated specialty pharmacies, 3
each selected based on their clinical expertise for the targeted therapeutic classes, quality of services, and cost. Their pharmacists are trained to help educate patients for these specialty medications, which may help improve treatment adherence. Participating members should be instructed to call the toll-free member number on their ID card where a representative will answer questions about our program and then transfer them to a specialty pharmacy based on their particular specialty medication prescription. Medications requiring prior authorization and other pharmacy programs Select medications may require prior authorization to be eligible for coverage under the member’s pharmacy benefit plan. Such medications are noted with a PA. Depending on your patients’ benefit and/or medication, a coverage review may apply to determine coverage under the pharmacy benefit. The pharmacy benefit may exclude coverage of medications for certain uses. Clinical criteria for PA medications are available on our website at UHCprovider.com. The criteria reflect UnitedHealthcare’s P&T Committee decisions. Some benefit plans may include our Step Therapy7 program. Step Therapy requires prior authorization and offers a “stepwise” approach to therapy for certain high-cost medications and requires that a member first try a more cost-effective medication before another high-cost medication. Step Therapy medications are noted as ST. Supply limits define the maximum supply of medication per copayment or period of time. Supply limits are based on several factors that may include FDA-approved dosing guidelines as defined in the product package insert, medical literature, guidelines or supportive data. Supply limit medications are noted as SL. The Refill and Save Program encourages members to adhere to their treatment regimens by rewarding them with a discounted copayment/coinsurance for refilling their prescription within the defined time period. Eligible medications are noted as RS. How to obtain authorization Use the PreCheck MyScript app on Link. By using the PreCheck MyScript app, you can now run a pharmacy trial claim and get real-time prescription coverage detail for your patients who are UnitedHealthcare benefit plan members. This will allow you to check current prescription coverage and price, including out-of-pocket prescription costs for UnitedHealthcare members at their selected pharmacy, as well as: • Get information on lower-cost prescription alternatives, if available, to help save members money. • See which prescriptions currently require prior authorization, or are non-covered or non-preferred. • Request prior authorization and receive status and results. The app is now available to all Link users; to access, sign in to UHCprovider.com, then select the Link Marketplace from your Link dashboard and search for the PreCheck MyScript app. Add the app to your dashboard and start using it. Below are also options to obtain authorization: • Online: Use the online prior authorization tool (available through UHCprovider.com). Most online prior authorizations are approved in real-time, and an autopopulation feature provides 95% of a member’s information. Prior authorizations can also be submitted online by signing in to optumrx.com > Healthcare Professionals > Prior Authorizations. • By Phone: Call the OptumRx prior authorization team at 1-800-711-4555. 1 In certain documents the Prescription Drug List (PDL) was referred to as the “Preferred Drug List (PDL).” This change in descriptive terms does not affect your patient’s benefit coverage. 2 Where differences are noted, the benefit plan documents will govern. 3 UnitedHealthcare operates a wide number of benefit programs and products, and some benefit programs may have alternative benefit designs. Physicians should always check the member’s specific benefit prior to prescribing medications. 4 In certain documents Tier 1 was referred to as “generics;” Tier 2 was referred to as “preferred brands” or “brand-name” on the PDL; and Tier 3 was referred to as “non-preferred brands,” “not on the PDL,” or “brand-name not on the PDL.” These changes in descriptive terms do not affect your patient’s benefit coverage. 5 Health Care Reform drug lists may vary by plan; your patient can find the most up-to-date tier status and cost information for a particular medication by visiting myuhc.com and/or calling the toll-free member phone number on their health plan ID card. 6 Depending on your patients’ benefit and/or medication, notification or medical necessity criteria will be applied to determine if covered under the pharmacy benefit. 7 For New Jersey fully insured members, this program is referred to as First Start. 8 In accordance with HCR/ACA requirements, providers may request a zero dollar coverage exception review for preventive medications.
