Prescription Drug Plan Update |
|
Effective March 1, 2013, BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina (BCBSSC) will be making changes that affect all plans that use their Preferred Drug List (PDL). Some brand drugs on the PDL will move to a non-preferred status and some brand drugs will be added as preferred. Secondly, the Utilization Management Programs will be updated which will include changes to the Prior Authorization Program and the Step Therapy Program. More detailed information on these changes can be found by clicking here.
The pharmacy management department is sending letters to members who take a brand drug that will be non-preferred on March 1st. A separate letter will be sent to members who take a drug that will require a prior authorization effective March 1st. You should have already received these mailers from the management department if indeed your benefits will be affected.
For more information about your prescription drug plan, log in to My Health ToolkitŪ at the website on your BCBSSC member ID card. You may also call the customer service number on your ID card or Caremark at 888-963-7290.
