Blue Advantage Medication Benefits
Blue Advantage understands the importance of our members being adherent to their prescribed medications.
Medication adherence means taking your medicines exactly as your doctor or pharmacist instructs you. It's important for managing your health conditions and ensuring that your medications work effectively. Here are some key points to help understand:
- Why it matters: The simple habit of taking your medications correctly can help manage chronic conditions, prevent complications and improve your overall health.
- Following instructions: This includes taking the right dose at the right time. Make sure to read the labels and follow any specific instructions your healthcare provider gives you.
- Keeping track: Consider using a pill organizer, setting reminders on your phone or keeping a medication diary. This can help you remember when to take each dose.
- Communicating with your doctor: If you experience side effects or have questions about your medications, don't hesitate to reach out to your doctor. They can adjust your treatment if needed.
- Support systems: Family members, friends or caregivers can help remind you or assist with managing your medications.
By sticking to your medication plan, you can take an active role in your health and well-being!

Extended Day Supply
As a Blue Advantage member, your plan now covers up to a 100-day supply at a time. A 100-day supply of medication means you have enough medication to last you for 100 days. Instead of getting a refill every month, you get a larger amount all at once. This way, you won't have to worry about running out or making frequent trips to the pharmacy. Just take your medicine as prescribed, and you'll have enough to last for over three months.
Cost Advantage - Blue Advantage Medication Benefits
Did you know that you may be paying more if you are using an out of network or non-preferred Pharmacy? Be sure to visit one of our in-network and Preferred pharmacies to make sure you are getting your medications at the lowest cost possible. Check here to see if your pharmacy is preferred.
If you are already using a preferred pharmacy and want to be sure you are saving the most, have you considered filling for a 100-day supply? Filling your prescriptions for up to a 100-day supply instead of the standard 30-day supply can save you not only time, but also money.
There is a cost savings on medications with copays at preferred pharmacies! Get over a three-month supply for a price of two months. This can help ensure you have your medications on hand when you need them while also limiting your out-of-pocket expense.
Ask your doctor or pharmacist about changing to a 100-day supply.
