UnitedHealthcare MedicareRx Part D

As a retired Consumer Driven Option member, you’ll automatically receive Medicare prescription drug program (PDP) coverage.

Your prescription drugs are covered 100%

Your Personal Care Account (PCA) covers 100% of eligible expenses, including prescription drugs. If you fill a prescription when you have benefit dollars available in your PCA, the funds will be applied, and you’ll pay nothing. If you’re enrolled in Medicare PDP, your prescription drugs will not automatically be paid out of your PCA. If you have funds in your PCA, you can submit a claim for reimbursement.

Save money on your prescriptions

Consumer Driven Option postal retirees automatically receive Medicare PDP coverage through UnitedHealthcare MedicareRx Part D. While you can’t use your PCA at the pharmacy for these prescriptions, you can pay out of pocket and request reimbursement, allowing you to keep using your PCA benefits.
