Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama Implements Program to Limit Increase of Prescription Drug Costs

Birmingham, AL – Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama’s mission is to provide our members access to quality, affordable healthcare. Part of this effort is offering our members a network of pharmacies committed to obtaining the best medications available at the best price, limiting increase of drug costs.

On January 1, 2022, Blue Cross transitioned specialty drug services in the Pharmacy Select Network to Express Scripts’ specialty pharmacy, Accredo. This change will enhance specialty drug services for our members who are taking highly specialized drugs for targeted conditions.

In addition, for members using mail order drug services for non-specialty medicines, the Home Delivery Network is now provided exclusively by MedsYourWay through Amazon Pharmacy.

Amazon Pharmacy offers:

  • Easy sign-up including the member’s account able to auto-populate prescription history
  • 90-day fill option
  • Pharmacists on call 24/7
  • Ability to manage medicine and order history
  • At checkout, members will pay the lowest cost available for their prescriptions
  • All prescribed and covered purchases automatically count toward our member’s annual out-of-pocket maximum
  • Free, fast delivery with real-time package tracking

Blue Cross is excited about the new specialty and home delivery network services now available to our members. These changes will provide the capabilities, customer service focus and competitive pricing we continue to prioritize for all our members.
