Are you looking for a Medicare drug plan with more coverage? With MedBlue RxSM Plus (PDP), you'll enjoy $2 value generic drugs and $8 generic drugs in the coverage gap. You can join MedBlue Rx Plus (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 prescription 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 Plus (PDP) is $80.50. 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 Plus (PDP) plan benefits. MedBlue Rx Plus (PDP) may not pay for your prescriptions if you use an out-of-network pharmacy, except in non-routine cases as outlined in the Evidence of Coverage. For an up-to-date list of the pharmacies in our network, see our Pharmacy Directory, or search by pharmacy name, state or ZIP code using the Pharmacy Locator.
