Pharmacy Programs

If you're a Blue Cross and Blue Shield of MontanaSM member with pharmacy benefits through us, you may have access to certain pharmacy programs. They focus on making specialty prescriptions easily available. They help deliver medications to your home or doctor. And they give you access to vaccines at pharmacies near you.

Specialty Pharmacies

Specialty prescription drugs are used to treat conditions that are any of the following:

  • Rare or less common conditions like multiple sclerosis
  • Serious conditions like cancer or hemophilia
  • Long term conditions like rheumatoid arthritis

Drugs that treat these conditions often have special handling or storage needs. Retail pharmacies may not be able to stock these types of drugs. That’s why members may need to use a specialty pharmacy to get these medications.

Why You Should Use Mail Order Pharmacies

  • Using mail order services to fill your maintenance or long-term prescriptions may reduce out-of-pocket costs.
  • Using this service is a convenient way to get medications you may take long-term such as drugs that treat high cholesterol, high blood pressure or diabetes. 
  • You may be able to order a 90-day supply. Get the maintenance drug list  to check if your medication is included. 
  • Short-term prescriptions, such as a 10-day prescription for antibiotics or acute pain medications, should be filled at your local pharmacy.
