Prescription Drug Information
OptumRx
As a UnitedHealthcare member, you have access to a comprehensive and quality pharmacy benefit provided through the UnitedHealthcare Pharmacy Benefit Program. UnitedHealthcare uses OptumRx. (www.optumrx.com) for certain pharmacy benefit services including your mail order benefit.
Make Informed Decisions
When selecting a medication, you and your doctor should consult the UnitedHealthcare Prescription Drug List (PDL). The PDL includes most brand and generic medications approved by the FDA. Medications may be placed on different “tiers” based on their overall value, with Tier 1 being the most affordable tier option. Click below to download and review the current Prescription Drug List:
