Rx Preventive Coverage
Effective July 1, 2020
Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), certain preventive drugs are covered at no cost to you when filled at a participating pharmacy with a valid prescription. While Capital BlueCross strives to provide prompt notice of changes to covered preventive medications, this list (as well as coverage criteria) is subject to change. For more information, visit the Drugs page, or contact Rx Member Services at the phone number listed on the back of your member ID card.
Please note that this preventive drug list is only applicable to members of an employer group health plan that is not grandfathered under PPACA. Please consult your employer for questions relating to grandfathered status.
