YOUR CHOICE OVERVIEW
The Your Choice pharmacy program provides
both value and freedom of choice. It does so by
offering a variety of high-quality, effective generic
and brand-name prescription drugs. This guide
provides information that is applicable to most
members. For information specific to your plan,
refer to your plan’s prescription drug rider.
When you need a prescription medication, you and
your doctor can choose from four different levels,
or “tiers.” Each tier has a different copayment. This
gives you and your doctor the freedom to choose
the medication that is right for you. At the same
time, this will help you to better budget your health
care dollars.
This guide provides an overview of your pharmacy
benefit with UPMC Health Plan. It explains the
copayment structure, the process for getting
certain drugs covered, your options for filling
prescriptions, important phone numbers, and more.

About Generic Drugs
UNDERSTANDING COVERAGE
AND COST SHARING
Generic drugs have the same active ingredients as their
brand-name equivalents but cost significantly less. Not
all drugs have a generic equivalent. Generally, new drugs
receive patent protection. Once the patent expires, other
pharmaceutical companies can produce the same drug in a
generic formulation. Companies that make generic drugs do
not have to invest large amounts of money in research, since
the company making the brand-name equivalent has already
done this. Also, generic companies do not need to advertise
their drugs. As a result, generic drug makers can pass these
savings on to you.
Our formulary is the list of Food and Drug Administration
(FDA)-approved drugs that we cover. UPMC Health Plan’s
Pharmacy and Therapeutics (P&T) Committee researches
and evaluates medications it may cover. Committee
members include local doctors and pharmacists who meet
regularly during the year to review and update the formulary.
Committee members base their decision on the drug’s safety,
effectiveness, and cost.
Your Choice prescription drugs are organized into four
copayment tiers on the formulary:
Generic drugs have the same active ingredients as brandname drugs, but their inactive ingredients can vary. This is
why the generic drug might look different from the brandname drug. Inactive ingredients can be dyes used to color
the drug or powders used to shape the tablets. Inactive
ingredients do not affect how the generic drug works.
Tier 1 is for generic medications, which have the lowest
copayment. Generic drugs offer the same level of safety and
quality as their brand-name equivalents. They have the same
amount of active ingredients as brand-name medications.
The FDA regulates generic drug manufacturers just as it
regulates the makers of brand-name medications. The
generic drug must pass strict FDA measurements to ensure
that it delivers the same amount of the active ingredient in
the same time frame as its brand-name counterpart. The
manufacturer of the generic drug must prove that it produces
its product under the same strict guidelines as the brandname drug.
Your Choice requires you to use a generic version
of the drug if one is available. This means that if
you receive a brand-name drug when a generic is
available, you must pay the brand copayment in
addition to the retail cost difference between the
brand-name and generic forms of the drug.
Tier 2 is for preferred-brand medications. UPMC Health Plan
classifies these drugs as “preferred” because of their value
and effectiveness.
FORMULARY OVERVIEW
Tier 3 is for non-preferred brand medications.
The most commonly prescribed Your Choice drugs are listed
in the formulary section of this booklet. Please note that there
are other drugs that Your Choice covers in addition to the
ones listed in this booklet. For the latest information on the
complete Your Choice formulary and other pharmacy benefits,
visit our website at www.upmchealthplan.com/pharmacy.
Select “Your Choice” to access the searchable drug list.
Tier 4 is for specialty medications.
Specialty medications usually treat complex
and rare conditions. These drugs are created
because of advancements in drug development.
These drugs can be high-cost medications
and biologicals regardless of how they are
administered (injectable, oral, transdermal, or
inhalant).
You may also call our Health Care Concierge team at the
number listed on the back of your member ID card or on
page 1 of this booklet.
Specialty drugs require close management by a
physician. Physicians need to monitor these drugs
because of potential side effects and the need for
frequent dosage adjustments.
Some medications not covered on our formulary are listed in
the sections of the booklet titled Medications Not Covered
by Your Choice and Non-Covered Medications with Covered
Alternatives.

If you are a current UPMC Health Plan member, refer to
your Schedule of Benefits for your copayment amounts. If
you did not receive a Schedule of Benefits in your Welcome
Kit, contact our Health Care Concierge team at the number
on the back of your member ID card. Your member ID card
should also list your copayment amounts.
Step therapy is built into the electronic system that checks
your medication history. A drug with step therapy will be
automatically approved if there is a record that you have
already tried the preferred drug(s). If there is no record that
you tried the preferred drug(s) in your medication history,
your physician must submit relevant clinical information to
the UPMC Health Plan Pharmacy Services Department before
it will be covered.
For Prospective Members
If you are thinking about joining UPMC Health Plan and
would like information about copayment amounts, review
the Schedule of Benefits. You may have received one from
your company’s benefits administrator or Human Resources
Department. If you did not receive a Schedule of Benefits,
contact your benefits administrator or the UPMC Health Plan
Health Care Concierge team at the number listed on page 1 of
this booklet.
Quantity Limits
You will see the symbol QL next to certain drugs on
the formulary tables in this booklet. QL stands for
quantity limits.
Quantity limits are drug-specific and limit the amount of
certain drugs that can be dispensed during a specified period
of time. These limits are based on FDA guidelines, clinical
literature, and manufacturer’s instructions. Quantity limits
promote appropriate use of the drug, prevent waste, and help
control costs.
UNDERSTANDING OUR SYMBOLS
Prior Authorization
For some drugs the dosing guidelines may recommend
that patients take the drug one time a day in a larger dose
instead of several times a day in smaller doses. The quantity
limits follow the guidelines and cover one larger dose per
day. Your physician can request an exception to the quantity
limit through the UPMC Health Plan Pharmacy Services
Department.
You will see the symbol PA next to certain drugs on
our formulary tables in this booklet. PA stands for prior
authorization.
If a drug requires prior authorization, the UPMC Health Plan
Pharmacy Services Department must authorize the use of
this drug before it will be covered.
Prescriptions for controlled substances and specialty
medications are limited to a 30-day supply.
Drugs that require prior authorization are often:
• Newer drugs for which UPMC Health Plan wants to track
usage.
• Drugs not used as a standard first option in treating a
medical condition.
• Drugs with potential side effects that UPMC Health Plan
wants to monitor for patient safety.
• Drugs categorized as specialty medications.
FILLING YOUR PRESCRIPTION
Retail
UPMC Health Plan’s network of retail pharmacies includes
hundreds of locations — independent pharmacies as well as
multistore chains — throughout the region. You can take your
prescription to any pharmacy in the network. You must use
75 percent of your medication before you can get a refill.
Step Therapy
You will see the symbol ST next to certain drugs on the
formulary tables in this booklet. ST stands for step therapy.
For specific pharmacy names, locations, and telephone
numbers, visit www.upmchealthplan.com/pharmacy or call
our Health Care Concierge team. The phone number is listed
on the back of your member ID card and on page 1 of this
booklet.
Step therapy is the practice of using specific medications
first when beginning drug therapy for a medical condition.
The preferred first course of treatment may be generic
medications or drugs that are considered as the standard
first-line treatment.
3
Mail Order
Specialty providers also improve care by providing education
for our members and expanded access to health care
professionals trained in the proper use of these specialty
medications. A specialty provider offers cost-effective health
care and medication management and compliance programs.
If you take maintenance medications for a chronic
condition, you can get them through a mail-order pharmacy.
Maintenance medications are drugs that are taken on a
regular, long-term basis. These may include drugs to treat
high blood pressure, diabetes, asthma, high cholesterol,
and more.
Filling Your Prescription When Traveling
With convenient mail-order service:
• You receive a 90-day supply of most drugs, plus refills, as
prescribed by your doctor.
• You usually pay a lower out-of-pocket cost for a 90-day
supply at a mail-order pharmacy than you would pay at a
retail pharmacy.
• You get these drugs delivered right to your door.
When you travel outside of the western Pennsylvania area,
thousands of pharmacies across the country will honor your
UPMC Health Plan member ID card.
Most mail-order prescriptions are written for a 90-day
supply. If your doctor writes for a 30-day supply with two
refills, the mail-order facility may combine the prescription to
make a 90-day supply. If you do not want a 90-day supply,
you should indicate this on the mail-order form.
To fill a prescription at a participating out-of-area pharmacy,
present your UPMC Health Plan member ID card. Some
pharmacies may ask you to pay the full price of the
medication. If that happens and your claim is approved,
you will be reimbursed the amount that you paid for the
medication, less the appropriate copayment.
For a first-time prescription or a new medication, UPMC
Health Plan recommends that you try a 30-day supply of
the drug from a retail pharmacy. That way your doctor has a
chance to make sure that it is the right dose for you and that
it does not cause any side effects.
You can request a “Pharmacy Program Direct Reimbursement
Claim Form” by calling our Health Care Concierge team or
requesting the form on the UPMC Health Plan website at
www.upmchealthplan.com/pharmacy.
To locate a participating pharmacy, contact our Health Care
Concierge team at the phone number listed on the back of
your member ID card or on page 1 of this booklet.
If you will be away from home for an extended period of
time, or if you will be traveling outside of the country, you
may want to use our mail-order service so that you receive a
90-day supply before you leave home.
Once you’re confident that the medication is appropriate,
ask your doctor to write a prescription for a 90-day supply
of each maintenance drug that you need (plus refills if
appropriate). Then order the supply through the mail-order
pharmacy.
Medication Supplies Not Covered by
UPMC Health Plan
To avoid running out of your mail-order prescription, reorder
your medication while you still have an adequate supply
remaining, allowing a few weeks for processing and delivery.
To request refills, you may order online or over the telephone.
• No authorizations will be provided for medications that are
reported by the member, provider, or pharmacy to be lost,
misplaced, stolen, destroyed, or damaged.
• Medications received at no charge to the member
(workers’ compensation, medications purchased with a
manufacturer’s coupon, etc.) will not be covered.
• Prescriptions that were written more than a year ago
will not be covered. Your doctor will need to write a new
prescription.
You can request a mail-order form by calling our Health Care
Concierge team or requesting the form on the UPMC Health
Plan website at www.upmchealthplan.com/pharmacy.
Specialty Provider
Most specialty medications must be obtained through our
designated specialty provider. When you are prescribed a
specialty medication and use a specialty provider, you get
mail-order delivery and improved access to drugs, as many
retail pharmacies do not carry these types of medications.
