Unlike some plans, Medi-CareFirst's Blue Rx (PDP) plans cover all Medicare Part D-approved drugs that are not available over-the-counter. The exact amount you will pay depends on which plan you have and the type of drugs you purchase.

How a 4-Tier Drug Plan Works: |
|
|---|---|
| For pricing, drugs are divided into the following four cost-share tiers: | |
| Cost-share Tier 1 ($) | All Generic Drugs |
| Cost-share Tier 2 ($$) | Preferred Brand Drugs |
| Cost-share Tier 3 ($$$) | Non-Preferred Brand Drugs |
| Cost-share Tier 4 (25% coinsurance) | Non-Self Injectables |
Brand and Generic Drugs
Blue Rx (PDP) plans cover both Brand and all Generic drugs. Generic drugs:
- Usually cost less than Brand drugs
- Have the same active-ingredient formula as Brand drugs
- Are rated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be as safe and effective as Brand drugs
Changes to the Formulary (Drug List)
The formulary may change each month. There are many reasons why the formulary can change, such as:
- Generic drugs may become available
- New drugs could be developed
- A drug is no longer manufactured
- The Food and Drug Administration deems a drug to be unsafe
