Switch to Optum Rx Pharmacy Carrier on January 1st

FOR EMPLOYEES ON THE DISTRICT HEALTH INSURANCE PLAN
The district will be switching pharmacy providers from Express Scripts to OptumRx effective January 1, 2020.

Please note: Members will not be able to fill prescriptions with OptumRx until the provider is active on January 1, 2020. If members are able, please fill any current prescriptions for you/your dependents prior to the end of the year to ensure you/your dependents have the medication needed at the beginning of 2020.  For prescriptions filled after January 1, please ensure that you are providing your updated insurance information to avoid delays in processing your prescriptions.

New insurance cards have been ordered and you should receive it within the next couple weeks. If you do not receive your new ID card by the new year, please contact Nicole Gruenewald at ngruenewald@wbsd-schools.org. ID cards can also be accessed and printed by signing into UMR.com and selecting ID Card from the menu on the left. You can see what this process looks like at this flyer.
