Three Easy Steps To Use Mail Service
Savings: The biggest advantage of the mail service pharmacy is
that for most long-term maintenance medications you can order
up to a 90-day supply. Often times, using mail service results in
the lowest possible out-of-pocket costs to you as a member.
For long-term prescriptions, use our mail service pharmacy to save.
1. Ask your doctor to prescribe medications for up to a 90-day
supply, plus refills when applicable. (If you’re already taking
medication on a long-term basis, ask your doctor for a new
prescription.)
Convenience: Your medications will be delivered to your home,
postage paid, within 14 days of mailing your new prescription.
Confidentiality: If you have questions, you can
call Express Scripts toll-free, 24 hours a day. Registered
pharmacists are available to answer your questions about your
prescriptions confidentially. Call 1-800-892-5119.
Special-Needs Services Available: For the convenience of our
hearing-impaired members, Express Scripts is TTY-ready, and has
installed a separate toll-free number for you to use with your TTY
equipment. The number is 1-800-305-5376.
For our vision-impaired members, upon special request with
your order, Express Scripts can provide Braille labels for your
medication.
And for our non-English-speaking members, Express Scripts can
provide translation services when you call the toll-free line.
Refer to your benefit literature for specific coverage information.
Please Note: Your order may be filled at any one of our Express Scripts Pharmacies located nationwide.

What Do I Do in Emergency Situations?
When you need medication immediately, simply have your
prescription filled at a local pharmacy. If you need medication
immediately, but will be taking it on an ongoing basis, you can ask
your doctor to write two prescriptions:
• You can fill the first prescription at a local participating pharmacy;
• Send the second prescription (up to a 90-day supply), along with
your copayment, to Express Scripts immediately.
About Your Prescription
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts maintains a list of
covered prescription drugs. If you have any questions about
whether or not your medications are covered, or subject to Quality
Care Dosing, Step Therapy, or Prior Authorization, please visit
www.bluecrossma.com/pharmacy or call Blue Cross Blue Shield of
Massachusetts Member Service at the number on the front of your
ID card.
Mail Service Questions
Call Express Scripts customer service 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week. Pharmacy consultation is also available around-the-clock.
Toll-free number: 1-800-892-5119 (TTY: 1-800-305-5376)
Why Did My Order Contain Generic Drugs?
When My Prescription Requested a Brand-Name Version?
When authorized by your doctor and permitted by applicable law,
Express Scripts will dispense a generic drug. This usually saves
you money, so whenever possible, ask your doctor to prescribe
generic drugs.
Why Isn’t My Drug Available Through the ESI Mail Service?
Certain medications that require immediate administration or are
used for short periods of time are inappropriate for mail service.
In addition, for certain medications classified as specialty drugs,
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts has established a
relationship with a preferred specialty pharmacy. They offer
additional services that are not offered by our mail service
pharmacy.
How Do I Order Refills?
Simply call the toll-free number, 1-800-892-5119, and order your
refills over the phone. You can also visit the Express Scripts
website to refill your order (www.express-scripts.com). Once you
have ordered through mail service, you will receive a refill slip with
your prescription.
Enclose the slip and the appropriate copayment amount in the
order envelope (which is provided).
Please Note:
Certain controlled substances and several other prescribed
medications may be subject to other dispensing limitations
and to the professional judgment of the pharmacist. If you have
any questions regarding your medication, please call Express
Scripts customer service at 1-800-892-5119.
It’s the patient’s responsibility to report to Express Scripts any
changes in drug allergies, health conditions, chronic diseases,
and drug sensitivities.
Prescription information about members and dependents
is used by Express Scripts to administer your prescription
program. As part of the administration, Express Scripts reports
that information to Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts.
Express Scripts also uses the information and prescription
data gathered from claims submitted nationwide for reporting
and analysis, without identifying individual patients in
accordance with applicable laws.

Our Commitment
to Confidentiality
This Notice describes how medical
information about you may be used
and disclosed and how you can get
access to this information.
Please review it carefully.
Use and Disclosure of Information
We are required by law to protect the confidentiality of your
personal and medical information and to notify you in case of a
breach affecting your personal or medical information. We will
supply your information to you upon your request or to help you
understand treatment options and other benefits available to you.
We also may use and disclose your information without your
written authorization for the following purposes, and as otherwise
permitted or required by law:
• Treatment—to help providers manage or coordinate your health
care and related services. For example, to refer you to another
provider or remind you of appointments.
Our Commitment
We respect your right to privacy. We will not disclose personally
identifiable information about you without your permission, unless
the disclosure is necessary to provide our services to you or is
otherwise in accordance with the law.
Collection of Information
We collect only personal or medical information we need to carry
out our business.
• Examples of personal information are name, address, date of
birth, and social security number. Most often, you and your
employer supply this information to enroll you in a plan.
• Examples of medical information are diagnoses, treatments, and
names of providers who treat you. Most often, your providers
supply this information.
• Payment—to obtain payment for your coverage, provide you
with health benefits, and assist another health plan or provider
in its payment activities. For example, to manage enrollment
records, make coverage determinations, administer claims, or
coordinate benefits with other coverage you may have.
•Health Care Operations—to operate our business, including
accreditation, credentialing, customer service, disease
management, and fraud-prevention activities. For example, to
do business planning, arrange for medical review, and conduct
quality assessment and improvement activities.
• Legal Compliance—to comply with applicable law. For example,
to respond to regulatory authorities responsible for oversight of
government benefit programs or our operations; to parties or
courts in the course of judicial or administrative proceedings; to
law enforcement officials during an investigation; or as necessary
to comply with workers’ compensation laws.
• Research and Public Health—for medical research studies
in accordance with laws for the protection of human research
subjects, and to report to public health authorities and otherwise
prevent or lessen a serious and imminent threat to health or
safety. For example, for the purpose of preventing or controlling
disease, injury, or disability.
• To an Account (such as an employer) or Party It Designates—
for administration of its health plan. For example, to a selfinsured account for claim review and audits. We will disclose
your information only to designated individuals. That, along
with contract obligations, helps protect your information from
unauthorized use.
To carry out these purposes, we share information with entities
that perform functions for us subject to contracts that limit use
and disclosure to intended purposes. We use physical, electronic,
and procedural safeguards to protect your privacy. Even when
allowed, uses and disclosures are limited to the minimum amount
reasonably necessary for the intended task.
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts is an Independent Licensee of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association
Your Privacy Rights
Special Notes Regarding Disclosure
You have the following rights with respect to your personal and
medical information. To exercise any of these rights, contact us
using the information listed at the end of this notice.
Special protections apply to information about certain medical
conditions. For example, with very few exceptions allowed by law,
we will not disclose any information regarding HIV or AIDS to any
party without your written permission. We will not disclose mental
health treatment records to you without first receiving approval
from your treating provider or another equally qualified mental
health professional. Also, we are prohibited from using or disclosing
genetic information for underwriting purposes.
• You have the right to receive information about privacy
protections. Your member-education materials include a notice
of your rights, and you may request a paper copy of this notice at
any time.
•You have the right to inspect and get copies of information
we collect about you. We will provide access to this information
within 30 days of receiving a written request. We may charge a
reasonable fee for copying and mailing records. You may also
ask your providers for access to your records.
• You have the right to receive an accounting of disclosures.
Your request must be in writing. Our response will exclude
any disclosures made in support of treatment, payment, and
health care operations, or that you authorized (among others).
An example of a disclosure that would be reported to you is a
disclosure of your information in response to a subpoena.
• You have the right to ask us to correct or amend information
you believe to be incorrect. Your request to correct, amend,
or delete information should be in writing. We will notify you if
we make an adjustment as a result of your request. If we do
not make an adjustment, we will send you a letter explaining
why within 30 days. In this case, you may ask us to make
your request part of your records, or ask the commissioner of
insurance to review our decision. We may also provide notice of
your requested changes to others who received this information
in the past two years.
• You have the right to designate someone to receive
information and interact with us on your behalf. Your personal
representative has the same rights concerning your information
as you. Your designation and any subsequent revocation must
be in writing, and a form for this purpose is available on our
website or by calling
Member Service.
• You have the right to ask that we restrict or refuse to disclose
personally identifiable information, and that we direct
communications to you by alternative means or to alternative
locations. While we may not always be able to agree, we will
make reasonable efforts to accommodate requests. Your request
and any subsequent revocation must be in writing.
• If you believe your privacy rights have been violated, you
have the right to complain to us, using the standard grievance
process outlined in your benefit materials, or to the Secretary
of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, without
fear of retaliation.

are used for, their cost, and whether equivalent or alternative
medications are available. The pharmacy will advise you
of the amount you owe. Usually, you will pay the least
amount of cost share for Tier 1 medications and the most
for Tier 3 medications.

Quality Care Dosing
Quality Care Dosing
Quality Care Dosing
Our Quality Care Dosing program helps to ensure that the
quantity and dose of medications you receive comply with
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommendations, as
well as manufacturer and clinical information. When you fill
a prescription for one of the following medications, it is
checked electronically in two ways:
• Dose Consolidation—Checks to see whether you’re taking
two or more pills a day that can be replaced with one pill
providing the same daily dosage.
• Recommended Monthly Dosing Level—Checks to
see that your monthly dosage is consistent with the
manufacturer’s and FDA’s monthly dosing
recommendations and clinical information.
We will get your doctor’s approval before making
any changes to your prescribed medications.
For the most up-to-date list of medications subject to
Quality Care Dosing, along with associated dosing limits,
please visit our website at www.bluecrossma.com/pharmacy
and proceed to the Quality Care Dosing section.
Please note: Your doctor may request an exception from
the guidelines for medications that are subject to Quality
Care Dosing (when medically necessary).

Step Therapy List
Step therapy is a key part of our prior authorization program
that allows us to help your doctor provide you with an
appropriate and affordable drug treatment. Before coverage
is allowed for certain costly “second-step” medications,
we require that you first try an effective, but less expensive,
“first-step” medication. Some medications may have
multiple steps.
This list is up-to-date as of January 1, 2015, and is subject
to change at any time. For the most up-to-date list of
medications that require step therapy, please visit our website
www.bluecrossma.com/pharmacy, click on Pharmacy

Non-Covered Medication List
Your pharmacy program provides coverage for over 4,000
prescription medications. Most medications on our noncovered list have equally safe, effective, covered alternatives
for treating the same medical conditions. If a non-covered
drug is approved, it will be covered at the highest tier or cost
share. Check with your doctor about appropriate alternatives
if you currently take any of these medications.
This list of non-covered medications is up-to-date as
of January 1, 2015, and may change from time to time.
For the most up-to-date list of medications that are not
covered and their covered alternatives, please visit our
website, www.bluecrossma.com/pharmacy, click on
Medication Look Up, and proceed to the Medications that are not Covered section.
Please note: Your doctor may request coverage for a
non-covered medication if no covered alternative is
appropriate for treating your condition.

New Medication Approval Process
New Medication Approval Process
Our Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee, which is
made up of pharmacists and doctors of various specialties,
reviews the effectiveness and overall value of new
medications approved by the FDA on an ongoing basis.
The Committee provides expertise and advice to help us
give our members prescription drug options that meet
their medical needs and achieve desired treatment goals.
Approved medications are added to our formulary as they
are approved by our Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee
throughout the year.

While under review, new medications will not be covered
by your plan. As with other medications that are not covered,
your doctor may request coverage when medically necessary.
If a non-covered drug is approved, it will be covered at the
highest tier or cost share.
