AllianceRx Walgreens Prime specialty pharmacy program starts Jan. 1 for most Blue Cross commercial members

AllianceRx Walgreens Prime will be the exclusive specialty pharmacy provider for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan commercial members, effective Jan. 1, 2021. This change doesn’t apply to Medicare Advantage members.

The AllianceRx Walgreens Prime Care team, which includes pharmacists and patient care coordinators, will help provide your patients with clinical excellence. They can assist with convenient and easy access to the specialty medication you’ve prescribed.

We’ll send a letter about this change to your affected patients. AllianceRx Walgreens Prime will call and advise them to speak to you about getting new prescriptions.

You’ll need to give your patients new prescriptions before Jan. 1, 2021, if they don’t currently fill their specialty drug prescriptions at AllianceRx Walgreens Prime or a local Walgreens pharmacy location. If you don’t, your patients could be responsible for the full cost of their drugs.

If your Blue Cross patients currently receive their specialty drugs from AllianceRx Walgreens Prime or a Walgreens pharmacy, no action is required.

You can send new specialty medication prescriptions to AllianceRx Walgreens Prime by one of the following methods:

• Fax: 1-866-515-1356
• Electronically: E-prescribing name is AllianceRx WALGREENS PRIME-SPEC-MI
• Phone: 1-866-515-1355
