The Half-Tab Program is a voluntary program designed to save money for Unity members and help maintain the affordability of prescription drug benefits, while still providing coverage for the same high quality medications. For eligible products, Unity members cutting a higher strength tablet in half, for the same daily dose, will only need to pay a half-copayment. Find out how Unity members can participate.
