Effective July 1, 2005, UC employees, retirees, and their eligible dependents enrolled in Health Net, Health Net Seniority Plus, PacifiCare, and PacifiCare Secure Horizons can obtain mail order quantities (usually up to a 90-day supply) of approved maintenance medications at UC Medical Center pharmacies (UCI, UCLA, UCD and UCSD).This service is already available to those in the Blue Cross PLUS, PPO, and High Option plans. Maintenance drugs are prescriptions taken continuously to manage chronic or long-term conditions where members respond positively to drug treatment, and dosage adjustments are no longer required or are made infrequently.

The same UC Medical Center pharmacies are available for each medical plan:
