July 2025

Starting Aug. 1, 2025, we’ll change how we cover Revlimid

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and Blue Care Network will change how we cover Revlimid® on the drug lists associated with our prescription drug plans, starting Aug. 1, 2025. This change will affect most Blue Cross and BCN commercial members under pharmacy benefits.

Brand-name Revlimid will no longer be covered for members starting Aug. 1, Instead, we’ll cover the generic equivalent, lenalidomide. If our members continue to stay on Revlimid, they’ll be responsible for the full cost. Members can talk to their doctor if they have concerns about this change.

If the member’s pharmacy is unable to fill the prescription with generic lenalidomide, Walgreens Specialty Pharmacy can fill the prescription. If members have questions, they can call the Walgreens Specialty Pharmacy team at 1-866-515-1355.

Walgreens Specialty Pharmacy, an independent company, provides specialty pharmacy services to Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and Blue Care Network members.
