How does the mail service portion of my prescription benefit work?
Blue Shield members can enjoy copayment savings and the convenience of receiving a larger supply of covered maintenance drugs through our mail service pharmacy, PrimeMail. Our mail service prescription benefit is available to members who take stabilized dosages of covered maintenance drugs on an ongoing basis for treatment of long-term conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes or asthma. Members can obtain up to a 90-day supply of covered prescription medications, versus the 30-day supply available through retail pharmacies. Plus, your copayment will be equal to or less than a 60-day supply copayment through retail pharmacies. This means that you can get an extra 30-day supply at no charge. You’ll need to transition to PrimeMail when you select Blue Shield as your health plan.
