Your Unity Prescription Drug Benefit
To verify the pharmacy benefit that you have, look at your Unity member ID card. You may see one or more of the following:
- $10/$20 DRUG (2 different dollar amounts indicate a two-tier drug benefit)
- $10/$25 /$50 DRUG (3 different dollar amounts indicate a three-tier drug benefit)
- DRUGS SUBJECT TO A $2,200 DEDUCTIBLE (this is a high-deductible HSA benefit)
- NO UNITY DRUG COVERAGE (you don’t have a drug benefit through Unity, although you may have drug coverage through another entity such as Navitus)
- SPEC RX $100 (the Specialty Pharmaceuticals Program is for certain medications that are subject to a $100 copayment per prescription)
If you have a Unity Prescription Drug Benefit, the Formulary
indicates your copayment and whether the medication requires Prior Authorization.
Two-Tier Drug Benefits
- All non-formulary and restricted drugs require Prior Authorization for coverage
- Generic drugs require a Tier 1 copayment
- Brand name drugs require a Tier 2 copayment
Three-Tier Drug Benefits
- Restricted drugs require Prior Authorization for coverage
- Generic drugs require a Tier 1 copayment
- Brand name drugs require a Tier 2 copayment
- Non-formulary drugs require a Tier 3 copayment
- Some drugs are covered only under the Specialty Pharmaceuticals Program and require a $100 copayment
High Deductible HSA Benefits
- All non-formulary and restricted drugs require Prior Authorization for coverage
- All medications require 100% coinsurance until the member or family deductible has been met
- Once the deductible has been met, a copayment is not required for covered medications for the remainder of the benefit year
- Your pharmacy must submit claims for medications charged at 100% coinsurance so that charges are counted toward the deductible
No Unity Drug Coverage
- Your employer may have purchased medical coverage through Unity, but not prescription drug coverage
- You may receive your prescription drug coverage through another organization
- Members covered under the State of Wisconsin health insurance program receive drug coverage through Navitus
- BadgerCare Plus members must contact the State Medicaid program at 800-362-3002 for information about their drug coverage
