What separate prescription-coverage election does UMBC describe for employees choosing medical benefits?
DIRECT ANSWER
Benefits guidance reviewed October 19, 2026; actual coverage and enrollment depend on current State plan rules and the employee’s elections.
UMBC’s new-employee benefits guidance says prescription coverage is separate from medical coverage. Employees who want the State prescription benefit must elect it separately; those who waive that coverage may face retail prescription costs. Check the current benefits guide and enrollment instructions before completing the election. Selecting a medical plan alone does not confirm prescription coverage, and this guidance does not establish a vendor or an enrollment deadline.
