UHC’s Drug Rebate Program—Impact on Employers

On March 7, 2018, UnitedHealthcare (UHC) announced that beginning January 1, 2019, UHC will pay the “overwhelming majority” of rebates for prescription drugs directly to individuals in UHC’s fully insured plans, not to employers or plan sponsors. Self-insured employers have the option of passing the rebates on to employees in their self-insured plans.

The Aon bulletin that discusses the potential impact of this program on employers with prescription drug plans can be found here.
