United Provider Services Prescription Drug Card

All that is required to use your UPS card is to present it to your pharmacist at the time you are having a prescription filled. It is important to present your UPS card BEFORE the pharmacist begins filling your prescription. The pharmacist will use the card to submit the prescription electronically to the UPS on-line adjudication system. In addition to the price savings you will gain from using your UPS card, the system will also perform a concurrent drug utilization review whereby we will transmit information back to your pharmacist should the system detect drug-drug interactions and/or duplicate therapy that could be dangerous.

Covered Drugs
Most medications requiring a prescription by federal law are covered. Over-the-counter medications and other nonprescription items are not covered.

Generic Medications
Generic Medications are medications that the Food and Drug Administration has deemed to be equivalent to the branded medication. They must pass the same stringent tests that the branded medication did in order to be considered a brand equivalent. Generic medications will save you money. They average around 50% less than their branded counterparts. This UPS card leaves the decision to purchase branded or generic medications to you, your physician and your pharmacist.

How to Use the United Provider Services Program

Here is the easy, step-by-step process for using the UPS program:

1. Locate one of the participating network pharmacies in your area.

2. Take both your prescription and your UPS identification card to your participating pharmacy. Be sure to present these items to the pharmacist before he or she begins filling the prescription.

3. UPS will calculate the preferred price for your medications and electronically relay this information to the pharmacy. Pay the total cost of your prescriptions as indicated by the pharmacist at the time of purchase.

The UPS prescription program is an on-line computer system. To receive your preferred pricing, the pharmacist must see your drug card and enter your 9-digit ID number. Price quotes cannot be given over the phone.
