Save Money with New Prescription Drug Discount Card Program

MedsYourWay^TM is not available to all members. Check your plan materials or ask your benefits administrator to see if you have this program.

You may be able to pay less for your prescription drugs with a new drug discount card benefit program.

MedsYourWay^® is a program that works with your Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois (BCBSIL) health plan pharmacy benefit to automatically search for and find lower costs for your eligible medicines.*

Here’s how it works:

1. Have your prescription filled at a participating in-network retail pharmacy. You can find in-network pharmacies and review your estimated drug costs by logging in to your Blue Access for Members^SM (BAM^SM) or MyPrime  account.
2. When you pick up your prescription, simply show your BCBSIL member ID card to the pharmacist.
3. You’ll pay the lower available MedsYourWay price. And what you pay will count toward your plan deductible and/or yearly out-of-pocket maximum amount.

*MedsYourWay is not insurance. It is a drug discount card program that compares the drug discount card price for an eligible medication (up to a 90-day retail supply based on plan benefits) at participating in-network retail pharmacies to the member’s benefit plan cost share amount and then applies the lower available price. Eligible medications are subject to change, and prescription prices may vary by location. Not all retail pharmacies participate with MedsYourWay. MedsYourWay is administered by Prime Therapeutics, LLC, a separate pharmacy benefit management company contracted by BCBSIL to provide pharmacy benefit management and related other services. In addition, contracting pharmacies are contracted through Prime Therapeutics. The relationship between BCBSIL and contracting pharmacies is that of independent contractors. BCBSIL, as well as several independent Blue Cross and Blue Shield Plans, has an ownership interest in Prime Therapeutics. MyPrime.com is an online resource offered by Prime Therapeutics, LLC.
