Look for a plan that lets you keep the doctors you know and trust.

When looking for a Medicare plan, be sure it includes affordable coverage for YOUR prescriptions.

If you take medications every day for a chronic condition, such as diabetes or high blood pressure, prescription drug coverage is an essential benefit. Before you enroll in a Medicare plan, ask if your specific drugs are covered – and find out how much they’ll cost. Also check to see if the prescription coverage is accepted at your local pharmacies and if the plan offers a mail service prescription option.

At Blue Shield we offer many Medicare Advantage Plans that include prescription drug coverage with $0 copay on preferred generic drugs3 and $0 deductible. You can even have some prescriptions delivered right to your door.

Let us confirm if your drugs are covered.Call (888) 731-1622 [TTY: 711] or visit bsca.com/my2022medicare3
