Your Protections in this Plan

Blue MedicareRx agrees to stay in the program for a full year at a time. Each year, the plan decides whether or not to continue offering prescription drug coverage for the following year. Should we decide not to continue offering Blue MedicareRx, we will send you a letter explaining your options for Medicare prescription drug coverage in your area. Your Medicare coverage is not affected.


As for claims, if Blue MedicareRx ever denies your prescription drug benefits, we will explain our decision to you. You always have the right to appeal and ask us to review the claim that was denied. In addition, if your physician prescribes a drug that is not on our formulary, is not a preferred drug, or is subject to additional utilization rules, you may ask us to make a coverage exception.


Guidelines for Disenrollment

Disenrollment from Blue MedicareRx means ending your membership. Disenrollment can be voluntary or involuntary. We are not allowed to ask you to leave the Plan because of your health.


Voluntary Disenrollment


You can leave the Plan and join another Medicare prescription drug plan, Medicare Cost Plan, or Advantage Plan available in your area. It will take some time for your prescription drug coverage to end and your new prescription drug coverage to begin.

  • You must provide a signed written notice to Blue MedicareRx through your employer (if applicable).
  • Call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227), 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you are hearing or speech impaired, please call 1-877-486-2048.
