Prescription Drug Coverage
Both OAP Quality Incentive plan options offered by the University of Maine System provide employees with prescription drug coverage. All employees are covered for both generic drugs and brand name drugs. Because brand name drugs are typically more expensive than generic drugs, you should ask your physician to prescribe a generic drug, if appropriate.All enrollees have the opportunity to use the mail order program. The mail-order program allows the convenience of having a three-month supply of maintenance drugs delivered right to their home!
Any questions on how to best utilize prescription drug coverage should be directed to CIGNA at 1-800-244-6224.

Talk to your doctor about alternatives to the Emergency Room
Whenever possible, see your PCP or use a walk-in health care facility in your community instead of going to a hospital Emergency Room. Emergency Room visits have a $100 employee co-pay (unless admitted to the hospital).
Schedule your annual physical with your PCP. Remember, there is no cost to you for this annual preventive care visit – the co-payment or co-insurance is waived.
Participate in UMS Wellness Program
Within 90 days of your effective date of enrollment in the health plan, and January - March of each subsequent year, complete Level 1 of Motivate Me, the University’s wellness program to be eligible for reduced premiums and to avoid an increase in premiums (you and your covered spouse/domestic partner must both participate).
