Prescription Drug Formulary
BCBS will be moving your pharmacy benefit to a more cost-effective and clinically appropriate managed drug list.
Member notices and support: Members may be impacted if using prescription medications that are no longer covered, using prescriptions that may still be covered but at a higher payment tier (non-preferred) or may be subject to new utilization management program criteria before prescription drug benefit coverage may be approved. Impacted members may receive a communication alerting them of the change. The letter will explain how the change may impact them. Members will be encouraged to talk with their health care provider(s) about their prescribed medications and if any changes in their drug therapy may be right for them.
