Would you like a Medicare drug plan that offers peace of mind and a low premium? With MedBlue RxSM (PDP), a Medicare prescription drug plan, you save on the drugs you need at more than 58,000 network pharmacies nationwide, and more than 900 in South Carolina. You can join MedBlue Rx (PDP) if you are a South Carolina resident entitled to Medicare Part A and/or enrolled in Medicare Part B. Eligible individuals enrolled in a Medicare Advantage (MA) private-fee-for-service (PFFS) plan that includes Medicare precription drug coverage or any MA coordinated (HMO or PPO) plan will be automatically disenrolled from the HMO, PPO or PFFS plan if they enroll in a prescription drug plan (PDP). Eligible individuals enrolled in a MA PFFS plan that does not include Medicare prescription drug coverage, a MA Medical Savings Account (MSA) plan or an 1876 Cost plan may enroll in a PDP and will not be automatically disenrolled from the PFFS, MSA or 1876 Cost plan.
The monthly premium for MedBlue Rx (PDP) is $43.60. If you currently pay a premium for Medicare Part A and/or Medicare Part B, you must continue paying your premium in order to keep Medicare Part A and/or Medicare Part B and remain a member of this plan.
BlueCross has formed a network of pharmacies that you must use to receive MedBlue Rx (PDP) plan benefits. MedBlue Rx (PDP) may not pay for your prescriptions if you use an out-of-network pharmacy, except in non-routine circumstances as outlined in the Evidence of Coverage. For an up-to-date list of the pharmacies in our network, see our Pharmacy Directory. You can also search by pharmacy name, state or ZIP code using the Pharmacy Locator.
MedBlue Rx (PDP) uses a prescription drug list. We may occasionally make changes to the list. You will receive 60 days' notice of the removal or change in the tier placement of any drug on our formulary. 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.
