Blue Advantage Medication Benefits

Blue Advantage Medication Benefits

Taking your medications as prescribed is critical to maintaining your health. Studies have shown that adhering to your medications leads to better disease control and may help you avoid a hospital admission.

Do you:

  • Sometimes forget to take your medications on time?
  • Have trouble getting to the pharmacy to refill your medications regularly?
  • Struggle to afford all of your medications each month?

If you answered “yes” to any of the above questions, we have options that could make your medication routine easier and help you take the right medicines at the right time. We want to help you be successful in managing your medications and taking them regularly. Here are some of the resources available to you as a Blue Advantage or Blue Rx member.

Adherence Packaging

Adherence Packaging
Simplified Medication Packaging

Dose packaging is customized to your personal medication schedule, making it easier to understand how and when to take your medications.

This easy-to-use packaging features your medication doses in presorted, sealed pouches for each time of day you take medications—morning, afternoon, evening and/or bedtime. This will eliminate the need for daily or weekly pill containers and will help ensure you are taking the right medications at the right time. This service is offered through many preferred pharmacies for Blue Advantage. Check with your local pharmacy to see if this is a service they offer (additional expense could apply).

This packaging service is also available through a home delivery pharmacy option. Our preferred home delivery options offer this packaging service for members taking multiple daily medications and delivers it to your home at no additional cost. Additionally, they also align your prescription refill dates to eliminate the need for multiple deliveries or trips to the pharmacy.

To receive your medication package choose from our Preferred Home Delivery Options below:

Cost Advantages

Did you know that you may be paying more if you are using an out of network or non-preferred Pharmacy? Be sure to visit one of our in-network and Preferred pharmacies to make sure you are getting your medications at the lowest cost possible. Check here to see if your pharmacy is preferred.

If you are already using an in-network pharmacy, but cannot afford all of your medications, have you considered filling for a 90 day supply? Filling your prescriptions in a 90 day supply instead of the standard 30 day supply can save you not only time, but also money. In addition to saving extra trips to the Pharmacy, you also save on the cost since you get a three month’s supply at the cost of only two months. This can help ensure you have your medications on hand when you need them will also limiting your out of pocket expense. Ask your doctor or pharmacist about changing to a 90 day supply.
