Total Health Care Approach
UnitedHealthcare makes pharmacy coverage decisions based on an understanding of how our coverage affects total health care. We do this by integrating pharmacy coverage with medical management, accessing information in a database including pharmacy, medical and laboratory data.
Evidence-Based Care
Pharmacy is one of the most highly used benefits. Our goal is to provide members with wide-ranging, cost-effective medication choices. We review clinical and pharmacoeconomic evidence when developing our prescription drug list [PDL] and clinical programs. This evidence helps us determine a medication's overall value relative to other medications in its class so we can effectively manage overall cost and care.
Member Engagement
Our personalized member engagement strategies aim to make health care work better for members. When provided with the right resources, a member can be empowered to discuss their options with their care providers and help make more educated decisions.
