Prescription Plan
|
Early Retirees and participants who elect Kaiser Senior Advantage receive their prescription drug benefit through Kaiser Permanente. A brief description of the prescription drug benefit is described in the Kaiser BenefitTab.
UnitedHealthcare/Secure Horizons participants receive their prescription drug benefit through UnitedHealthcare. A brief description is provided below.
UnitedHealthcare Early Retirees and participants who elect Medicare Supplement or Premium Reimbursement receive their prescription drug benefit through Prescription Solutions plan called Mandatory Generic Prescription Drug Plan. The Mandatory Generic Prescription Drug Plan is designed to help you meet the cost of prescription drugs prescribed by your doctor, for you or your eligible spouse, for the treatment of illness or injury. The pharmacist will dispense a generic drug substitute whenever it is available. If you choose to obtain a brand name drug instead of a generic, you may do so, but it will result in greater expense for you.
