9 Blue MedicareRx Prescription Drug Plan

WHAT IS MEDICARE PART D?

Medicare Part D is prescription drug coverage that is available to you
if you’re eligible for Medicare. This prescription drug benefit is administered
by private insurance companies, like Blue Cross and Blue Shield, that
contract with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

How Part D works:

(Information provided below is specific to 2020)

In addition to the monthly premium, Medicare Part D plans have four different stages:
Annual Deductible (if applicable), Initial Coverage, Coverage Gap, and Catastrophic Coverage.

Here's how they work:

Annual Deductible The Blue MedicareRx Value Plus plan has an annual deductible only on Tiers 3, 4, and 5.
(if applicable) The Blue MedicareRx Premier plan has no annual deductible.
Refer to the Plan Comparison Chart on pages 7-8 for more details.

Initial Coverage There is a $4,020 initial coverage limit. This includes your copayments, co-insurance,
and payments made by the plan for covered prescriptions.

Coverage Gap There is a coverage gap that starts once total drug costs (member and plan payments)
Catastrophic reach $4,020 and ends when your out-of-pocket prescription drug costs reach $6,350.
Coverage
When you're in the Coverage Gap stage, you pay 25% of the costs of generic drugs. For
brand-name drugs, you pay 25% of the negotiated price (excluding the dispensing fee).
You continue paying 25% for generic drugs and 25% of the negotiated price (excluding
the dispensing fee) for brand-name drugs until yearly out-of-pocket costs paid by you
and others on your behalf reach $6,350. The payments made on your behalf (excludes
payments made by Blue MedicareRx) count toward your out-of-pocket costs.

Refer to the Plan Comparison Chart on pages 7-8 for your costs in the Coverage Gap for
each of the Blue MedicareRx plans.

Takes effect after you and others on your behalf have paid $6,350 in annual
out-of-pocket prescription costs.

• You have Medicare Part A or Medicare Part B (or you have both Part A and Part B)

A: You can enroll in a Blue MedicareRx plan only during specific times of the year unless

Q: Is financial assistance available?

A: If you need financial assistance covering your Prescription Drug Plan costs, you may be
eligible to receive Extra Help, including reduced premiums, deductibles, copayments, and
co-insurance. If you qualify for Extra Help, Medicare will tell us how much assistance you’ll
receive when you enroll in our plan, and we’ll inform you of the amount you’ll be responsible
for paying. To see if you qualify for Extra Help, call:

as much as Medicare’s standard prescription drug coverage) you may be subject to a late
enrollment penalty when you do enroll. The penalty is 1% of the national average monthly
premium for each month you were eligible, but weren’t enrolled. The penalty will be added to
your premium for as long as you’re enrolled in a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan.

Drug Coverage

Q: What if I already have drug coverage?

A: Eligible individuals may only enroll in one Medicare Prescription Drug Plan at a time.
If you already have a Medicare Advantage plan or other insurance that includes Part D
coverage, enrolling in this plan will automatically disenroll you from your current plan.
If you get your health care benefits from TRICARE®´ or the U.S. Department of Veterans
Affairs, joining a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan might not be a cost-effective option,
unless you qualify for Extra Help. If you get your coverage through your employer or union,
contact your benefits administrator to compare your options.

Q: What drugs are covered?

A: For a full listing of covered drugs, visit rxmedicareplans.com, or call us at the number
on the back page. If drugs are removed from the list during the year, we'll notify affected
members of the change in writing and online at rxmedicareplans.com at least 60 days
before the change is effective.

Q: What if I’m currently taking a drug that isn't on the drug list?

A: You should first contact us and confirm that your drug isn't covered. You can ask us for a
list of similar drugs that are covered by our plan. You can also ask us to make an exception
to cover your drug. We encourage you to talk to your doctor to determine the course of
action that best suits your needs. We may cover your drug in certain cases during the first
90 days that you're a new member of our plan. Visit rxmedicareplans.com, or call us at the
number on the back page for details about how to request a prescription drug exception
