​Prescription Drug Information

2021 UHC PRESCRIPTION DRUG LIST (PDL)
(all 3 medical plans)
This Prescription Drug List will provide you with a list of prescription medications covered by UHC; Cost for these medications depends on the plan you enroll in, according to chart above.​ 

2021 UHC ADVANTAGE AND ESSENTIAL PDL
(all 3 medical plans)
The health reform law (Affordable Care Act) makes certain preventive medications and supplements available to you at no cost—both prescription and over-the-counter (OTC). The preventive medications on this list are covered at 100% with $0 copay when:
  • Prescribed by a health care professional
  • Age and/or condition appropriate
  • Filled at a network pharmacy

Preventive Medications - HDHP only
(HDHP medical plan only)
This is a list of Preventive Medications that may be covered under your plan. If your plan covers these Preventive Medications, your insurance benefit is applied before you meet your deductible.

​Some medications may have other requirements or limits depending on your benefit plan and are noted below. To find out if a drug is covered, please check your plan benefits on the health plan’s member website. Or, call the toll-free phone number on your health plan ID card. This list may not be all-inclusive. Brand and generic drugs may not always be available due to market changes.

Dental Insurance - UnitedHealthcare (UHC)

2021 Vision - Unitedhealthcare (UHC)

Vision Insurance - UnitedHealthcare (UHC)

Picture
If you wear glasses or contacts, you know vision expenses can add up. UnitedHealthcare will continue to provide our vision benefits for 2021. We have consolidated the vision plans to make this choice easier for you! Your plan remains the same, except now the Vision plan includes an additional benefit for computer glasses. The computer glasses benefit gives you an additional $100 frame allowance to purchase a 2nd pair of prescription glasses that include protection against blue light. There is no additional material copay for the 2nd pair of computer glasses. You can choose any frame at network provider locations and apply the frame allowance toward the cost. This benefit is only for you and does not include dependents.
 
You still have the option to see any vision provider you choose, but benefits are highest when you use a network provider. Visit myuhc.com to find vision care professionals - you don’t have to log in to search! Just click “Find a Vision Provider” and enter your location.

Health Savings Account (HSA)

Health Savings Account (HSA)
​

Picture
​
​When you enroll in the HDHP, you can contribute your own tax-free money to an HSA (via payroll deduction, up to annual IRS limits). *If you contribute at least $500 of your own money to your HSA, CKE will make a matching contribution of $500. Then, shortly after enrollment, you will receive an HSA debit card in the mail. It works like a bank debit card at any vendor that accepts healthcare cards.

​Keep in mind, the IRS Contribution Limit includes CKE’s contributions – so if you contribute $500 and CKE contributes $500, the IRS views this as $1,000 toward the limit. Make your elections accordingly!

COBRA
The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) gives workers and their families who lose their health benefits the right to choose to continue group health benefits provided by their group health plan for limited periods of time under certain circumstances such as voluntary or involuntary job loss, reduction in the hours worked, transition between jobs, death, divorce, and other life events. Qualified individuals may be required to pay the entire premium for coverage up to 102 percent of the cost to the plan.

COBRA generally requires that group health plans sponsored by employers with 20 or more employees in the prior year offer employees and their families the opportunity for a temporary extension of health coverage (called continuation coverage) in certain instances where coverage under the plan would otherwise end.
