Download CDHP Preventive Medication List

Preventive Medication List for CDHP 2016
If you are enrolled in the Consumer Directed Health Plan (CDHP), your prescription drug
benefits are integrated with the CDHP medical benefits. You must first pay for all your
medical and prescription drug expenses yourself until your cost reaches the deductible
limit. However, you can receive certain preventive drugs without having to meet the
deductible. For these preventive drugs, you pay copays instead. Sometimes this is
referred to as “bypassing” the deductible.
Preventive medications can help people avoid many illnesses and conditions. The
medications are categorized based on the medical conditions (therapeutic class) that
they are used to prevent.
This list of therapeutic classes does not guarantee benefit coverage for a particular
medication. Coverage prior to the deductible being met may not be provided for every
dosage and/or form of the medication. If you have questions about a specific drug
prescribed by your doctor, please call OptumRx at (877) 629-3117 for assistance.
The following list provides the therapeutic classes for prescription drugs which are
considered preventive and are not subject to the CDHP deductible.
