WHY DO YOU NEED MEDICARE PART D?
Medicare Part D plans are designed to help make prescription drug costs more predictable.
With the rising costs of prescription drugs, enrolling in a Medicare Part D plan
may be a smart way of insuring yourself again the unexpected. Even if you are relatively
healthy, enrolling could save you money in the future.

**AARP MedicareRx Saver, AARP MedicareRx Preferred, AARP MedicareRx Enhanced
†The benefit described here applies until the total cost of your drugs (paid by
UnitedHealthCare, you and others) reaches $2,510. However, for members in AARP MedicareRx
Saver, the benefit applies when the total cost of your drugs are between $275 and
$2,510. For members in AARP MedicareRx Enhanced, the $0 copay benefit for Tier 1
medications applies until the amount paid by you and others on your behalf reaches
$4,050.
You are not required to use the plan's Preferred Mail Service Pharmacy to obtain
a supply of your maintenance medications. You have the option of using the Preferred
Mail Service Pharmacy, a retail extended day supply pharmacy or non-preferred mail
service pharmacy in the network to obtain a supply of maintenance medications.
If you choose a retail extended day supply pharmacy or non-preferred mail service
pharmacy, you may see out-of-pocket payment differences when compared to using the
Preferred Mail Service Pharmacy. You should experience no out-of-pocket payment
differences if choosing between a retail extended day supply pharmacy and a non-preferred
mail service pharmacy.
Your prescriptions should arrive in about seven days from the date the completed
order is received by Prescription Solutions. If Prescription Solutions needs to
contact you or your prescribing physician to clarify information on your order or
to request prescriptions from your physician, delivery may take longer. If you prefer
rush delivery, medications can be shipped overnight for an additional charge. You
should fill your prescriptions locally if you are out of your medications and cannot
wait for your mail order prescriptions to arrive. Standard delivery is no charge
to U.S. addresses, including U.S. territories.
Prescription Solutions is an affiliate of United HealthCare Insurance Company and
United HealthCare Insurance Company of New York.
These Medicare Prescription Drug Plans (PDPs) are insured by United HealthCare Insurance
Company or United HealthCare Insurance Company of NewYork for NewYork residents
(together called “UnitedHealthCare”). AARP MedicareRx Plans carry the AARP name,
and UnitedHealthCare pays a fee to AARP and its affiliate for use of the AARP trademark
and other services. Amounts paid are used for general purposes of AARP and its members.
AARP is not the insurer. UnitedHealthCare receives rebates from drug manufacturers
that it passes on to its enrollees through reductions in premiums and to Medicare
to reduce Medicare program costs. UnitedHealthCare contracts with the Federal government
as a PDP sponsor. All decisions about prescription drugs are between you and your
physician or other health care provider.
AARP does not make prescription drug plan recommendations for individuals. You are
strongly encouraged to evaluate your needs before choosing a prescription drug plan.
