UVA_HRNew Pharmacy Benefit Town Hall
Effective January 1, 2021, UVA’s Health Plan Pharmacy Administration will switch from OptumRx to Aetna, the company that already administers the UVA Health Plan’s medical program. Combining medical and prescription coverage with a single administrator allows for more aligned and convenient service to meet your health care needs and delivers financial savings which contributed to no increase in the premiums that you will pay in 2021.
Prior authorizations that have not expired by January 1, 2021 will be transferred from OptumRx to Aetna. However, you may need to take action to ensure you’re ready to fill your prescriptions through Aetna on January 1. The HR Prescription Drug Program 2021 webpage contains detailed information on the UVA pharmacy coverage with Aetna, changes to the prescription drug program, and action items you may need to take.
The UVA Human Resources Total Rewards team is coordinating a live New Pharmacy Benefit Town Hall to occur on December 14, 2020, from 12-1 pm. The Town Hall will provide an overview of the new pharmacy program, with presentations by the Benefits team, UVA Pharmacy, Aetna, and CVS Pharmacy. There will be a Q&A session, and participants may pose questions in the webinar’s Q&A box.
