UnitedHealth Group on July 15 said it will eliminate copays or out-of-pocket costs for select drugs, including insulin, epinephrine and albuterol, for members in its standard fully insured group plans. The company said it hopes the move will encourage greater medication adherence and reduce unnecessary health complications and/or hospitalizations. United currently enrolls 7,354,188 people in group risk-based plans, representing 15.9% of its overall membership.
