With few exceptions, your prescriptions must be filled at network retail or mail-order pharmacies in order for your prescription drugs to be covered. In Michigan about 86 percent* of pharmacies are network pharmacies. Nationwide, more than 80 percent* of pharmacies are in our network, including most chains. This directory includes preferred and non-preferred network pharmacies. You may pay a lower copay at a preferred pharmacy.
 

Generally, Medicare Plus Blue and Prescription Blue only covers drugs filled at an out-of-network pharmacy in these situations:

  • If the prescription is related to care for a medical emergency or urgently needed care
  • If you are traveling within the U.S. — outside the plan's service area — and become ill, or lose or run out of your drugs
  • If there are no network pharmacies within reasonable driving distance that provide 24-hour service
  • If your covered drug is not regularly stocked at a network pharmacy

In these situations, you will have to pay the full cost (rather than paying just your co-payment) when you fill your prescription at an out-of-network pharmacy. You can ask us to reimburse you for our share of the cost by submitting a paper claim form. Before you fill a prescription at an out-of-network pharmacy, please contact us to see if there is a network pharmacy available.
