Prescription Drug Information

Where Can I Get My Prescriptions?

BlueCross has formed a network of pharmacies that you must use to receive Medicare BlueSM Plus (PPO) prescription drug plan benefits. Medicare Blue Plus (PPO) prescription drug coverage may not pay for your prescriptions if you use an out-of-network pharmacy, except in certain cases outlined in the Evidence of Coverage. For an up-to-date list of the pharmacies in our network, see our Provider/Pharmacy Directory. You can also search by pharmacy name, state or ZIP code using the Pharmacy Locator.

What Prescriptions Are Covered?

The Medicare Blue Plus (PPO) prescription drug plan uses a prescription drug list. We may occasionally make changes to the list. For the most current information, see our Comprehensive Formulary (list of covered prescription drugs). To search for a specific drug on this formulary, simply open the formulary and select the Search button in the task bar at the top of the page. Then type the name of the drug in the search box and select Search.
