Welcome to Blue Cross MedicareRx (PDP)

We’d like to have your email address to send you communications about health plan benefits and programs throughout the year. We never share your email address outside the plan. You can always opt out or ask us to stop sending you emails.

You will receive an Annual Notice of Change in October. This notice outlines any expected premium/benefit changes for next year. These changes will begin January 1 of the following calendar year. Review this document carefully.

You will receive a statement called the Explanation of Benefits. How often you receive it depends on how often you fill your prescriptions. This statement is not a bill. It simply details what you have paid and indicates the level of benefits you’ve used. Review these to be sure they are correct. If you think there are errors, please contact us. If you think you are the victim of fraud, report it immediately.

Blue Cross MedicareRx covers a broad range of prescription drugs. The formulary may be different from what you’re used to, and it can change. The most current formulary is always available online. Share the formulary with your doctor and talk about the drugs you take now. You may be able to save money by choosing generic drugs. Ask if this is an option for you.

In prescription drug plans, drugs are placed into tiers. The costs for drugs in each tier are different. Generally, drugs on lower-number tiers cost less. The tiers are:

• Tier 1: Preferred Generic Drugs
• Tier 2: Generic Drugs
• Tier 3: Preferred Brand Drugs
• Tier 4: Non-Preferred Drugs
• Tier 5: Specialty Drugs

Please read the formulary for more information about these rules and exceptions or please visit the Prior Authorization/Utilization Management page for more information.
