How do I use my Prescription Drug Benefit?
Your Prescription Drug Benefit helps to cover the cost for some of the medications prescribed by a licensed Physician.
Using your benefit is simple.
 Present your prescription and OptumRx ID card at any OptumRx Participating Pharmacy.  Pay the Copayment for a Prescription Unit or its retail cost, whichever is less.  Receive your medication.
What do I pay when I fill a prescription?
You will pay only a Copayment when filling a prescription at an OptumRx Participating Pharmacy. You will pay a
Copayment every time a prescription is filled. Your benefits are as follows:  When you fill or refill a prescription for a generic medication, your Copayment is $10 for a 30-day supply (excluding maintenance medications).  When you fill or refill a prescription for a Formulary brand-name medication, your Copayment is 30% for a 30-day supply (excluding maintenance medications).  When you fill or refill a prescription for a Non-Formulary brand-name medication, your Copayment is 50% for a 30-day supply (excluding maintenance medications).
Preferred Mail Service for Maintenance Medications - For maintenance medications you will be able to receive 3
refills at a retail pharmacy for the customary retail copayment ($10 generic, 30% Formulary, 50% Non-Formulary). On
the 4th refill you can chose to either continue to use your retail pharmacy and the retail copayment will be doubled for a
30 day supply ($20 generic, and remain at 30% for Formulary brand, and 50% for Non-Formulary brand), or you can chose to utilize the mail service pharmacy and pay the mail service copayment ($20 generic, 30% Formulary Brand, 50% Non-Formulary Brand) for up to a 90 day supply.
3 Tier Revised 4/28/2014 Market Priced Drugs: Reta Value Options
Many brand-name medications have generics, brands, or over-the-counter (OTC) equivalents available that cost less and
are FDA-approved drugs with similar effectives. Market priced drugs are:  The most cost-effective FDA-approved drugs (generics, brands or OTC equivalents) that provide a therapeutically equivalent result, based on available medical evidence.  Designated as the formulary drug for each therapeutic category (a therapeutic category is a group of drugs that treat a given diagnosis, such as statins used to treat high cholesterol).
How Market-Based Pricing Works
Under Market-Based Pricing, you can choose to continue to use a drug that has a lower-priced, formulary drug equivalent, but Reta will pay only the amount it would have paid for the therapeutically similar drug that costs less (the market-priced drug). You will pay the difference between the full market price of your prescription and the full market price of the lowest cost therapeutic alternative plus the copay for the lowest cost therapeutic alternative. The Plan's contribution for all therapeutic alternatives is based on what the Plan currently contributes to the lowest cost alternative. The Plan does not provide a greater subsidy or benefit for more expensive, therapeutically similar, Reta partners with OptumRx and DRX to deliver Market-Based Pricing. DRX/DestinationRx built and owns the most comprehensive drug therapy and price comparison database available. Using this information, you'll be able to work more effectively with your doctor to make informed decisions about medications. All the drug options DestinationRx covers have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for safety. Market prices are subject to periodic updates as the cost of these drugs changes. To help you keep track of the drug prices and to identify lower-cost options, go to:
When I fill a prescription, how much medication do I receive?
 For a single Copayment, Members receive either one Prescription Unit or up to a 30-day supply of a drug.  If you use the OptumRx Mail Service Pharmacy program, you will receive three Prescription Units or up to a 90- day supply of maintenance medications.
 What else do I need to know?
 You should become familiar with OptumRx' prescription drug Formulary. Any medication not on the Formulary you will pay the higher non-formulary copayment. For more information on the Formulary, please visit  It is possible to buy a brand-name drug in place of a generic equivalent, even though the generic drug is the only one listed on our Formulary. Your cost, however, will be higher (Non-Formulary copayment). For more information, please continue to "Medications Covered by Your Benefit" and read the description for Generic ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

If your appeal is denied, your written response will include the specific reason for the decision, describe the criteria or guidelines or benefit provision on which the denial decision was based, and notification that upon request the Member may obtain a copy of the actual benefit provision, guideline protocol or other similar criterion on which the denial is based. For determinations delaying, denying or modifying health care services based on a finding that the services are not Covered Services, the response will specify the provisions in the pharmacy plan documents that exclude that coverage. If you are not satisfied with the outcome of the first appeal, you may request a second appeal.
