Savings on Prescription Medications

Eligibility for savings on your prescriptions is dependent on the health plan you have with the University:
- University employees enrolled in University High Deductible, University Low Deductible, or University Copay Plan will enjoy a reduction in co-pays
- University employees enrolled in the HSA-Eligible Health Care Plan will receive a discount off the usual out-of-pocket cost of each medicine (prior to reaching their deductible) and then a reduction in copays once their deductible has been met.
- Retirees enrolled in Preferred Gold HMO with University Major Medical, University Complementary Care Plan with Major Medical, or the University Stand-Alone Major Medical Plan will receive a discount off the usual out-of-pocket cost of their prescriptions prior to reaching their prescription deductible and then a reduction in coinsurance once their deductible has been met
The pharmacy can also fill 90-day supplies of maintenance drugs (that are currently filled by mail-order service) at a similarly discounted price.

Delivery Service

The Employee Pharmacy is pleased to announce a new offsite prescription delivery service. The pharmacy is staffed to deliver medicines to most University off-site locations with courier service. Please contact the pharmacy if you are unsure.

To use the new delivery service, employees are asked to order medications by 2 p.m. for next-business-day delivery. Please complete the delivery request form and fax to the pharmacy (585-276-2600) with your location, building number, and any other information that will help us find you when making the delivery. Prior to delivery, the pharmacy staff will contact you by phone to process payment with your credit card or flexible spending debit card. Unfortunately, at this time, we are unable to accept cash or check when using the delivery service.
