Get help with medication costs

All UPMC for Life Complete Care members have a $0 copay for covered Tier 1 and Tier 2 prescription drugs filled at a participating pharmacy. Drugs on Tiers 3, 4, and 5 may have a copay, depending on the level of Extra Help you receive. You can save money on medications no matter the level of Extra Help (Low-Income Subsidy) you receive. This benefit applies to all phases of prescription drug coverage.
