A big part of staying healthy is finding and treating problems before they get serious. That’s one reason CU Health Plan is expanding coverage for no-cost preventative generic drugs.

Beginning with the 2024–25 plan year starting July 1, no-cost generic drug coverage will expand to include many additional chronic illnesses, including cardiovascular conditions, respiratory ailments, hypertension and more, as well as to prepare for certain health screenings. Last year, no-cost coverage debuted for generic diabetes medications and some diabetes supplies.

This expansion will offer cost savings to those who take certain preventive medications and opt for the generic version. When prescribed eligible drugs, members can fill these at a $0 cost, even before medical plan deductibles are met.
