Blue Shield is thrilled to announce new pharmacy updates for members with pharmacy benefits, starting January 1, 2025.
Amazon Pharmacy is here
Amazon Pharmacy will replace CVS Caremark Mail Service Pharmacy as our new prescription home delivery service. This change means a smoother, digital-first experience for your clients.
New ID Cards are on the way
Beginning with October 1 plan effective dates, members will receive new ID cards with updated pharmacy information. An insert will be included with additional information and instructions for members to bring their new ID card to the pharmacy on their next visit. Updated ID cards can be accessed through the member's online myblueshield account and via the Blue Shield mobile app.
Pharmacy digital enhancements
Here are some of our latest digital enhancements to improve members’ experience with their pharmacy benefits:
- Price Check My Rx for cost comparisons
- Notifications for lower-cost alternatives
- Spending Tracker to monitor expenses
- Pharmacy Locator for easy access to nearby pharmacies
