How prescription drug coverage works with the Basic and Premium HSA Plans

If you are enrolled in the UHC Basic or Premium HSA medical plan, you will pay the full cost of your non-preventive prescriptions until you meet the deductible, just like with the rest of your eligible medical expenses. There are no prescription drug copays in the Basic and Premium HSA medical plans. So keep in mind that if you choose one of the HSA medical plans, you will likely pay more at the pharmacy counter if you haven't met your deductible, but you can use your tax-free HSA funds to pay for your prescription drugs. Prescription costs count toward meeting your plan deductible and out-of-pocket maximum.
