UVA Signs Contract for Combined Health and Pharmacy Services with Aetna

2020 is a year is like no other. More than ever before, the coronavirus pandemic has heightened concern for health, health expenses, and job security. UVA has been working for over a year on finding additional savings for you with your health benefits. Effective January 1, 2021, UVA has successfully renegotiated and updated a contract for health insurance and prescription drug services with Aetna/CVS Health. With Aetna as administrator for both pharmacy (previously held by OptumRx) and health plans, this not only brings savings to you but also additional conveniences:

• One ID card for both prescription drug plan and health plan (a new ID card will be mailed in December)
• One Aetna dedicated UVA customer care team with a whole life integration approach and advocacy for you and your family
• One place to call with questions; one website, one mobile app
• Easier execution of deductibles

More details will be available in Open Enrollment communications beginning in August. Open Enrollment is scheduled for October 5-16, 2020.
