UA Medicare Part D

Disclaimers

United American Insurance Company is a Medicare-approved Part D sponsor. Plan sponsors can choose not to renew their contract with CMS, and CMS may also refuse to renew the contract, thus resulting in a termination or nonrenewal. This may result in termination of the beneficiary's enrollment in the plan. In addition, the plan sponsor may reduce its service area and no longer offer services in the area where the beneficiary resides.

Eligibility Requirements
To be eligible for and to enroll in UA Medicare Part D, you must be:

  • Eligible to receive Medicare benefits under Part A or enrolled in Part B.
  • A resident in the UA Medicare Part D's service area (all states except New York).

Important Information

  • You may only be enrolled in one Part D plan at a time.
  • If you are enrolled in a Medicare Advantage (MA) plan, you may not enroll in UA Medicare Part D unless you are a member of a Private Fee-for-Service (PFFS) or a Medical Savings Account MA plan (MSA).

Pharmacy Information
UA Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Coverage (PDP) has formed a network of pharmacies. You must use a network pharmacy to ensure you receive plan benefits.

Click here to find a pharmacy, or call our Medicare Part D Customer Service at 1-866-524-4169 (TTY/TDD: 1-866-524-4170) to request the most current list.

Medicare Part D Extra Help
You may be able to get extra help to pay for your prescription drug premiums and costs. To see if you qualify for getting extra help, you can call any of the numbers below:

  • UA Medicare Part D Customer Service at 1-866-524-4169. TTY users should call 1-866-524-4170, seven days a week from 8 am to 8 pm in your local time zone.
  • 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227). TTY users should call 1-877-486-2048, 24 hours a day/seven days a week.

People with limited incomes may qualify for extra help to pay for their prescription drug costs. If eligible, Medicare could pay for 75% of drug costs, including monthly prescription drug premiums, annual deductibles, and coinsurance. Additionally, those who qualify will not be subject to the coverage gap or a late enrollment penalty. Many people are eligible for these savings and don't even know it. For more information about this extra help, contact your local Social Security office or call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227), 24 hours a day/seven days a week. TTY users should call 1-877-486-2048.

If you qualify for extra help for your Medicare prescription drug plan costs, the amount of your premium, and cost at the pharmacy is less. Once you are enrolled in UA Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Coverage (PDP), Medicare tells us how much assistance you receive. We then send you information on the amount of premium you will pay.

Medicare Supplement (Medigap) Policies with Part D
If you have a Medicare Supplement (Medigap) policy that includes prescription drug coverage, you must contact your Medigap provider to tell them you joined a Medicare prescription drug plan. If you keep your Medigap policy, your Medigap provider removes the prescription drug coverage portion of your policy and adjusts your premium. Under certain circumstances, you can buy a different Medigap policy without prescription drug coverage sold by your Medigap provider. Your Medigap provider cannot charge you more based on any past or present health conditions. Call your Medigap provider for details.
