Pharmacy Directory Information
Blue Advantage (PPO)
This directory provides a list of Blue Advantage (PPO)’s network pharmacies. To get a complete description of your prescription coverage, including how to fill your prescriptions, please review the Evidence of Coverage and Blue Advantage’s formulary.
We call the pharmacies on this list our “network pharmacies” because we have made arrangements with them to provide prescription drugs to Plan members. In most cases, your prescriptions are covered under Blue Advantage only if they are filled at a network pharmacy or through our mail order pharmacy service. Once you go to one pharmacy, you are not required to continue going to the same pharmacy to fill your prescription but can switch to any other of our network pharmacies. We will fill prescriptions at non-network pharmacies under certain circumstances as described in your Evidence of Coverage.
You can go to all the pharmacies on this list, but your costs for some drugs may be less at pharmacies in this list that offer preferred cost-sharing. Cost-sharing information can be found in the Summary of Benefits. Only Preferred Mail Order and Preferred Extended Supply pharmacies can offer lower cost-sharing for up to a 100-day supply of our covered Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3 and Tier 4 prescription drugs. Non-preferred pharmacies do not offer lower cost-sharing for up to a 100-day supply of prescription drugs.
