Prescription Drug Plan Costs & Benefits

UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage Choice includes an enhanced benefit Medicare Part D plan (PDP). Enhanced plans have a higher actuarial value than basic plans. Actuarial value simply refers to the percentage of cost that's covered by the plan.

Enhanced plans generally have higher monthly premiums than basic benefit plans but offer more benefits. For example, many enhanced PDPs do not have an annual deductible, may offer additional coverage during the coverage gap (aka, "donut hole"), and may have a broader list of supported drugs, known as a formulary. Some enhanced PDPs even cover excluded drugs. It's important to remember that benefits vary from plan to plan.

Prescription Drug Plan Premium

Although the prescription drug plan (Part D) premium is bundled with the total plan cost, some plans have supplemental costs and/or offer low-income subsidy (LIS) assistance. The following table outlines the prescription drug plan premium details of this plan.

Basic Part D Premium:$49.00
Supplemental Part D Premium:$0.00
Total Part D Premium:$49.00
Part D Premium with Full LIS Assistance:$11.50
Part D Premium with 75% LIS Assistance:$20.90
Part D Premium with 50% LIS Assistance:$30.30
Part D Premium with 25% LIS Assistance:$39.60

For more information about the Low-Income Subsidy (aka, "Extra Help") program, refer to the Social Security Extra Help page.

Prescription Drug Plan Deductible

The Medicare Part D annual deductible with this plan is $295.00. This is the amount you must pay at the pharmacy before UnitedHealthcare begins paying its share.

NOTE: The deductible does not apply to one or more drug tiers in this plan (see "Prescription Drug Plan Out-of-Pocket Costs" below).

Prescription Drug Plan Out-of-Pocket Costs

In addition to the plan's monthly premium and deductible, UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage Choice has copayments (a fixed dollar amount) and/or coinsurances (a percentage amount) that you must pay when you pick up your prescriptions. The following table shows you those costs.

TierPreferredStandard
1 (Preferred Generic)N/A$0.00 copay
(deductible does not apply)
2 (Generic)N/A$14.00 copay
3 (Preferred Brand)N/A$47.00 copay
4 (Non-Preferred Drug)N/A$100.00 copay
5 (Specialty Tier)N/A28%

Our Review & 2023 CMS Rating Marks

In terms of quality care, this Medicare Advantage PPO plan is much better than the average plan in areas it serves. Staying healthy is the best way to save money on health care, and UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage Choice does a good job keeping its members in top health through preventive care, including screenings, tests, and vaccines. This plan is good at managing its member's chronic (long-term) health conditions. Medicare beneficiaries enrolled in this UnitedHealthcare plan enjoy a good member experience. Complaints and changes in plan performance are one way we can measure quality, and this plan scores good at both. The plan shines at customer service with an overall excellent mark on this important metric.

UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage Choice offers some vision and hearing benefits, but not dental. With an added premium of $49.00 dollars per month, prospective members are advised to carefully weigh the value of the plan's additional benefits. With a maximum out-of-pocket limit of $6,700 per year, this plan could be costly if you have chronic health conditions. In the event of a 5-day hospital stay, costs will likely be higher than Original Medicare. Even though members have copays with this health plan, they don't have to worry about a deductible.

Each year the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) rates health plans (Part C) in five broad categories and drug plans (Part D) in four broad categories. We do not recommend joining a plan with an overall rating of less than 3.0. Here are the most recent CMS ratings for this plan:
