Know Your Prescription Drug Coverage, Save Big

If you are enrolled in one of the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX) medical plans, prescription drug coverage, administered by Express Scripts, is included with your medical coverage. With your drug coverage, you can get prescriptions usually at big savings at more than 67,000 chain and independent pharmacies in the Express Scripts network. If home delivery is an option for your prescription drugs, for example maintenance medications for cholesterol, then use it! You’ll typically see the highest savings through this program.
