What if an employee is taking a brand-name drug that does not have a generic equivalent? Will BCBSNC waive the brand-name drug copayment since there is no generic equivalent?
No. The purpose of Medication Dedication is to improve medication adherence by encouraging employees and their health care providers to consider generic alternatives when they are available and appropriate, and to help make drug costs more affordable. BCBSNC is also placing brand-name drugs that treat specific chronic conditions into a lower copayment category to make them more affordable.
