SaveOnSP - For Express Scripts Participants Only (UHC HMO and UMR PPO)
The SaveOnSP program through Express Scripts is designed to reduce or eliminate out-of-pocket
costs on select specialty medications. Enrollment in the program is voluntary; however,
if you choose not to participate, you will be responsible for the full copay on certain
medications which will lead to additional costs . The copay will not count towards
your deductible or out-of-pocket maximum. The specialty drug list is subject to change
and members will be notified if their specialty medication applies to this program.
For further information, please contact SaveOnSP at 800-683-1074.
Step Therapy - For Express Scripts Participants Only (UHC HMO and UMR PPO)
Step Therapy simply means making sure you get safe and proven-effective medications
at the lowest possible cost to you and your plan sponsor. A panel of independent licensed
medical experts work with Express Scripts to recommend medications for the step therapy
program. If taking a medication on the step therapy program, you are required to try
a first-line medicine before a second- line medicine is covered.
First-line medications are the first step and are typically generic and lower-cost brand-name medications. In most cases, they provide the same health benefit as more expensive medications, but at a lower cost.
Second-line medications are the second and third steps and are typically brand-name medications. They are best suited for the few patients who don’t respond to first-line medications. They’re also the most expensive options.
