Blue Shield members now have a better way to manage their medication costs online.
The Price Check My Rx tool creates a personalized experience with real-time information from the member’s formulary and benefits usage.
Once logged into their Blue Shield account, members can:
- View their active prescriptions and see their current costs.
- See lower-cost alternative options and potential savings specific to the member (if available).
- Perform a price comparison between prescription costs at different network pharmacies.
- Search for any drug and the cost of its brand or generic formulation (if available).
The Price Check My Rx tool will be continually enhanced to provide the best and most efficient user experience. A recent enhancement to the tool allows members to compare medication prices by searching for a new drug and their existing prescription drug in one query. The search result will display the costs and information for both drugs in a single view.
Blue Shield launched the tool to Medicare members in January 2023. So far, more than 9,000 Blue Shield Medicare members have used the tool to confirm their current prescription drug costs and to identify lower-cost alternatives. Be sure to let your commercial group clients know about the online Price Check My Rx Tool available now.
