Prescription Drug Lists
If you have prescription and pharmacy benefits with us, you have a drug list that lists medications covered by your plan.
While most member drug lists are below, you should log in to your Blue Access for MembersSM account to search for covered medications.
Prescriptions Covered By Your Plan
Drugs on your drug list are chosen based on their safety, cost and how well they work. While doctors are encouraged to prescribe drugs on the list, treatment decisions are between you and your doctor. If you know which drug list your plan uses, access it below. You also can review other materials about covered medications. We have quick-view guides for drugs that have dispensing limits, need pre-approvals, and more.
To find out if a prescription drug is covered by your plan, it's best to log in to your member account and click on the Pharmacy tab. There you can search a medication and get all the details you need.

You, your prescribing health care provider, or your authorized representative, can ask for a Drug List exception if your drug is not on (or is being removed from) the Drug List. To request this exception, you, your prescriber, or your authorized representative, will need to send BCBSMT documentation. To begin this process, you or your prescribing health care provider can call the number on your ID card for more information or fill out and submit the Prescription Drug Coverage Exception form. BCBSMT will let you, your prescriber (or authorized representative) know the benefit coverage decision within 72 hours of receiving your request. If the coverage request is denied, BCBSMT will let you and your prescriber (or authorized representative) know why it was denied and may advise you of a covered alternative drug (if applicable). You can also appeal the benefit determination.
If you have a health condition and failure to take the medication may pose a risk to your life, health or keep you from regaining maximum function, or your current drug therapy uses a non-covered drug, you, your prescriber, or your authorized representative, may be able to ask for an expedited review process. BCBSMT will let you, your prescriber (or authorized representative) know the coverage decision within 24 hours of receiving your request for an expedited review. If the coverage request is denied, BCBSMT will let you and your prescriber (or authorized representative) know why it was denied and may advise you of a covered alternative drug (if applicable). Call the number on your ID card if you have any questions. You can also appeal the benefit determination.
