Prime Therapeutics

We are trusted by your health plan to help you get the medicine you need to feel better and live well. Our pharmacy experts are working hard to make your medicine more affordable and your experience easier.

Visit AlabamaBlue.com/NetResults1DrugList6T to view the list of medicines covered under your Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama pharmacy benefits (called a formulary). Doctors and pharmacists have carefully selected the generic and brand-name drugs on the list. Drugs that aren’t on this list may cost you more.

For covered medicines, the amount you pay is called your copay, or cost share. Your pharmacy benefit plan pays the rest. Your plan may also have a deductible, which is the amount you must pay before your plan begins to pay. 

You could save money 

Did you know that generic drugs can save you up to 80 percent?¹ Generic drugs are lower-cost versions of a brand-name drug. They work the same as the brand-name drug in safety, strength and effectiveness. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if a generic may be right for you.

Register for or log in to your myBlueCross account at AlabamaBlue.com. Located on the right-hand side of the myBlueCross home page, the Manage My Prescriptions section provides links* for you to access tools to:

Find medicines: Look up different drugs to see if your plan covers them. You can see prices and find out if there’s a generic version to help save you up to 80 percent. • If your medicine isn’t covered, talk to your doctor. You may be able to switch to a medicine that’s on the drug list.

Find in-network pharmacies: One way we help make your medicines more affordable is by working with certain pharmacies to lower prices for you. These pharmacies make up your plan’s preferred pharmacy network. Search by pharmacy name, your location and more.

View prescription history: See your prescription drug claims history, including the medicine, fill date and what you paid. You can easily print your history for your doctor to review.
