Find out what medications are covered and where you can get your prescriptions filled to maximize your benefits.
Check these documents to see if your prescription drugs are covered. The drug list consists of most preferred generic and many brand-name medications. Choosing drugs from this list may save you money.
If you don’t see your medication on the list check with your doctor for a generic or lower-cost option on the formulary that may work just as well and may save you money.
MedsYourWay is a program that works with your Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas pharmacy benefit to automatically search for and find lower costs for your eligible medicines. All you need is your member ID Card.
How it Works
When you have your prescription filled at a participating, in-network retail pharmacy, simply show your ID Card to the pharmacist. MedsYourWay automatically compares the prices from participating drug discount cards against your cost share under your pharmacy benefit plan for eligible prescriptions.
The comparisons are done behind the scenes at the pharmacy. You will pay the lower available price and what you pay will apply to your yearly plan deductibles and/or out-of-pocket maximums.
MedsYourWay is not insurance. It is a drug discount card program that compares the drug discount card price for an eligible medication at participating pharmacies to the member’s benefit plan cost share amount and then applies the lower available price. Eligible medications are subject to change, prescription prices may vary by location and not all retail pharmacies participate. MedsYourWay is administered by Prime Therapeutics, LLC, which administers the pharmacy benefit management services for your plan.

You can estimate how much your prescription medications will cost and learn how to keep your costs down at MyPrime.
Under the Prior Authorization Program, your doctor has to get approval from Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas before your prescription drug plan will cover certain medications and drug categories.
Check the Balanced Drug List or visit MyPrime to see if any special requirements apply for your drug(s).
The Step Therapy Program encourages safe, cost-effective medication use by requiring you to have a prescription history for a "first-line" medication before your benefit plan will cover a "second-line" drug.
A first-line drug is recognized as safe and effective in treating a specific medical condition, as well as being a cost-effective treatment option. A second-line drug is a less-preferred or potentially more costly treatment option.
Check the Balanced Drug List or visit MyPrime to see if any special requirements apply for your drug(s).
If you are a current member and have recently gone through the Step Therapy Program for a particular drug, you do not have to complete a request again for that drug.

We offer blood glucose meters to members with diabetes at no additional charge to help you manage your condition. See the glucose meter flier for more information about this offer and monitoring your blood glucose level.
