Check your UnitedHealthcare plan’s formulary for covered medications. Many plans cover alternative erectile dysfunction (ED) treatments.
Cialis (tadalafil) is a popular option, often covered and offering longer-lasting effects compared to Viagra. Avanafil (Stendra) is another possibility, known for its fast-acting properties. Your doctor can assess which is best suited to your needs and health history.
Beyond pills, some plans may cover alternative therapies like vacuum erection devices (VEDs). VEDs are non-invasive and can be a suitable option for certain individuals. Consult your physician to discuss this possibility.
Lifestyle changes are crucial. Maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and managing conditions like diabetes can significantly improve ED symptoms. Your doctor can recommend a tailored approach.
Remember, coverage details vary significantly depending on your specific plan. Contact UnitedHealthcare member services or review your plan’s online formulary for the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding covered medications and treatments. Always discuss treatment options with your doctor before making decisions.
