Medicare pharmacy network

Blue Shield of California Medicare Plans have two pharmacy network types:

• If you are enrolled in in one of the following plans you have access to all the pharmacies in our network. Your cost share will be the same, regardless of what pharmacy you use:
  • Blue Shield TotalDual Plan (HMO D-SNP) in Orange and San Bernardino counties
  • Blue Shield Inspire (HMO D-SNP) in San Joaquin, Merced, and Stanislaus counties
    
  • Blue Shield TotalDual Plan (HMO D-SNP) in Los Angeles and San Diego counties
• If you are enrolled in any other Blue Shield of California Medicare Advantage or Medicare Prescription Drug Plans, your pharmacy network includes pharmacies that offer standard cost sharing and pharmacies that offer preferred cost sharing. You may go to either, but your cost may be lower at pharmacies that offer preferred cost sharing.

If you want a pharmacy directory mailed to you, please call (855) 203-3874 (TTY: 711) or email MemberSvcs@blueshieldca.com.

Get an extended supply of your prescription

Your Blue Shield Medicare plan covers an extended supply (90 or 100 days, depending on your plan) of your maintenance medication at all network pharmacies, including Amazon Pharmacy. Maintenance medications are those prescribed to treat a chronic or long-term medical condition, such as asthma, diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol, and are taken on an ongoing, regular basis to maintain health. Ask your doctor for an extended supply prescription. If your plan offers network pharmacies with preferred cost sharing, you may save money if you fill the prescription at a preferred cost-sharing pharmacy, which includes select retail pharmacies and Amazon Pharmacy.
 

Home delivery pharmacy

Have your maintenance medications delivered to your home or office through Amazon Pharmacy with no charge for shipping or delivery. You can visit Amazon Pharmacy or call Amazon Pharmacy at (856) 208-4665, 24/7 (TTY: 711).
