Medicare Part D Newsletters
BCBSNM offers Medicare Part D prescription drug plan coverage to eligible members. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) must review and approve every aspect of the program, including:
- How an insurance company sells its plans
- Benefits offered
- Premiums charged
- List of formulary drugs
- How plans communicate formulary drug changes to providers
CMS provides rigorous and proactive oversight of Medicare Part D, by conducting routine audits to ensure plans are compliant. In order to improve our communication to providers regarding regular changes to the Medicare Part D formulary, we publish monthly newsletter articles and post updates on this website addressing formulary changes as well as other Medicare Part D issues, such as drug interactions, manufacturer warnings and notifications.
