What to Expect

ID Cards: Once you enroll, you will receive both a UHC medical plan ID card and an Express Scripts ID card mailed to your home address.

Find Your Provider: Use whyuhc.com/thermofisher to find in-network providers and facilities.

Virtual Visits

UHC medical plan participants can visit the UHC member site to schedule a virtual visit. A wide range of treatments and therapies can be provided for these general virtual care options.

  • Primary Care: Schedule a virtual appointment with a PCP and get care from the comfort and privacy of home.
  • 24/7 Virtual Visits: Allow you to talk with a provider 24/7 for common urgent care needs (e.g., allergies, pink eye, common cold or seasonal flu) or when your PCP is not available. Many providers can also prescribe some medications and have them sent to your local pharmacy.   
  • Behavioral Health Care: For when you’re dealing with life challenges, feeling stressed, or need to speak with a psychiatrist or therapist. 

Prescription Drug Coverage

To save you time and money and to avoid a penalty, some of your medications may need to be filled through a specific type of pharmacy. The PPO and HDHP plans have a mandatory mail order program for maintenance medications, which helps ensure costs are as low as possible. After your third maintenance medication fill at a retail pharmacy, you must fill your maintenance medication through the mail order service.

If you continue to fill your maintenance medication after the third fill at a retail pharmacy, you will pay 100% of the cost and this amount will not apply to your deductible or out of pocket accumulators. In order to avoid paying 100% of the cost, after the second fill of the maintenance medication at the retail pharmacy, please ask your doctor to submit a new prescription to be filled at the Express Scripts (ESI) home delivery pharmacy.

Specialty Medications must be filled through Accredo, the specialty pharmacy for ESI. You will pay 100% of the cost for any specialty medication filled at any pharmacy other than Accredo. The 100% cost will not apply to your deductible or out-of-pocket maximums.

You may be contacted by PillarRx about a copay assistance program that can save you money on specialty medications. Watch for more information mailed to you from PillarRx if this applies to you.

You must enroll on MyBenefits to have coverage.
