Frequently asked questions.

What changes are we making to our UnitedHealthcare prescription drug benefits?

On July 1, Rightway will replace Optum Rx as the pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) for our UnitedHealthcare prescription drug benefits.

What’s a pharmacy benefit manager?

I thought prescription drug coverage was part of medical coverage. Why is there a separate administrator?

Are we changing the PBM for our Kaiser prescription drug benefits too?

Are we changing any other components of our UnitedHealthcare medical plan benefits at this time?

We’re not changing any other components of our UnitedHealthcare medical plan benefits at this time. Your benefits and out-of-pocket costs, as well as your contributions to the cost of coverage (which are deducted from your pay each pay period), will remain the same.

What impact will the change have on my annual deductible and out-of-pocket maximum?

Will my current medications still be covered?

What impact will the change have on the amount I pay for a prescription?

Can I continue to fill prescriptions at my current pharmacy?

I receive help with my out-of-pocket costs from the manufacturer of one of my medications. Will I still be able to ask manufacturers for financial assistance?

Will I get a new ID card?

In June, UnitedHealthcare will send you a new ID card that includes your Rightway prescription drug coverage information. On or after July 1, you can shred your current UnitedHealthcare ID card and use your new one whenever you pick up a prescription at a pharmacy.

Can I continue to use a mail-order pharmacy service for medications I use regularly?

Can I use the Cost Plus Drugs mail-order pharmacy service instead of Walgreens Mail Service?

What are the differences between Walgreens Mail Service and Cost Plus Drugs?

I currently receive my specialty medications through Optum Rx Specialty Pharmacy. What happens during the transition to Rightway?

How do I fill a prescription for a specialty medication?

To fill a new prescription for a specialty medication, your doctor must submit a "prior authorization” to Rightway for approval. Our dedicated Rightway pharmacy team can help with this process.

How much will my specialty medication cost?

Can I set up my prescription to be automatically refilled?

How long will it take for my medication to arrive?

Why did we decide to change the PBM for our UnitedHealthcare prescription drug benefits?

To continually provide high-quality health care services to our employees and their families, we review and monitor our vendors on a regular basis. This is consistent with industry best practices and essential for maintaining high standards of care and cost-efficiency, while also supporting the best interests of our business.

How did we select Rightway as the new PBM for our UnitedHealthcare prescription drug benefits?

How will Rightway deliver an excellent patient experience?

How will Rightway help us determine which medicines contribute to better health outcomes?

How will Rightway help us manage costs?

How can I ensure that access to my medications won’t be interrupted during the transition?

It’s always a good idea to have at least a two-week supply of any medications you take regularly on hand. Be sure to order refills through your current retail, mail-order, or specialty pharmacy as soon as you’re eligible to do so. If you have any difficulty accessing your medications during the transition, reach out to our dedicated Rightway pharmacy team. The team will work with you, your doctor, and your pharmacy to ensure you’re never without the medications you need.
