OptumRx: Duplicate Medications Resolution Process for UnitedHealthcare Community Plan of Mississippi Members

Effective: September 15, 2016

Effective 09/15/2016, for UnitedHealthcare Community Plan of Mississippi members, you must review medications flagged with the reason code TD (Therapeutic Duplication) to resolve any duplication in the pharmacy system before dispensing the medication. TD is a safety edit that compares the member’s current medications to the drug you are processing. This reason code alerts you when a there is a request to fill a member’s medication within the same class as a medication already filled within the last 30 days so you can research why the patient is attempting to fill another medication in the same class so quickly. When the pharmacy system flags a medication for TD, it produces a soft reject and will display the message: TD: ANOTHER [specific drug class] PRODUCT WAS FILLED.
