Easy Ways to Save on Prescriptions

Pharmacist and patient

To help you protect your health and lower your costs, most BCBSRI Medicare Advantage plans1 offer pharmacy
benefits. Here’s how to maximize your savings.

1. Start right away with a $0 pharmacy deductible.
With a $0 pharmacy deductible, you can immediately take advantage of low or $0 copays for Tier 1 and Tier 2 drugs in your plan’s formulary—including many generics.

2. Save with mail order.
You can save time and money by signing up for mail order prescriptions (plus, having your meds on hand can make it easier to take them on time and as directed). Pay $0 for a 100-day supply of many generic drugs in Tiers 1 and 2—with discounts on others—and have them delivered, no matter which plan you have.2

3. Get vaccinated for $0.
With your pharmacy benefit, you can get vaccines to protect against flu, COVID-19, RSV, pneumonia, shingles, and other diseases.
