Reminder: Prescription benefits have changed for employees in Anthem plans

Payroll & Benefit Services reminds employees enrolled in Anthem medical plans of changes made to their prescription benefits, and of the savings offered for having prescriptions filled at a University of Colorado Hospital (UCH) retail pharmacy or through the UCH mail order program.

For UA Net Plan members:

Copays at the UCH pharmacies are lower than copays for purchases at other retail pharmacies.

UCH pharmacies can dispense a 90-day supply at the retail counter for only two copays (90-day retail).

Mail order or 90-day retail is required for maintenance meds after three 30-day retail dispenses.

For all Anthem plan members (including UA Net, Lumenos, HMO Colorado and Medicare Primary):

UCH mail order service is the mail order provider for employees in all Anthem plans.

For a list of medications excluded from the mail order or 90-day retail requirement, go towww.uch.edu/pharmacy, under pharmacy questions and answers for employees – Are there exceptions to the mail order program?

If your medication is on the exception list, you may continue to fill your prescriptions 30 days at a time.

If your medication is not on this list, please ask your doctor to prescribe a 90-day supply of
medication.

Your doctor can fax or phone in your prescription to one of the UCH pharmacies listed below.

Mail order provides a 90-day supply of medication for two copays. That's more than $200 in savings per brand name prescription per year.

UCH also offers convenient mail order enrollment via the web at www.uch.edu/pharmacy - click on the Mail Order link.
