When do I use mail order?
If you take a prescription medication on a regular basis, you can save over 60% with the Medco Mail Order Pharmacy Service. You can get up to a 90-day supply of your covered medication for one mail order co-pay delivered right to your home. Standard shipping is free, and medication is delivered within 7 to 11 days after you place your order.

How do I get started?
To use mail order for the first time, you must first obtain two prescriptions from your doctor - one for a 14-day supply to be filled at a participating retail pharmacy and the second for up to a 90-day supply for mail order. The home-delivery prescription can be sent:

• By fax: Use Medco's fax prescription form. Bring the form to your doctor - only your doctor may fax a prescription by calling 1-888-327-9791 for instructions. You will need your member/contract number to print a form, which is on your BCBS ID card.
                                                                  

How do I change from retail to mail order?
Make sure you order your mail order medications 14 days before your medication runs out.

Overview
A co-pay is a flat dollar amount (or percentage) paid by the enrollee for each separate prescription order or refill of a covered drug. Reduce your out-of-pocket costs with:

• Mail order: Order drugs through mail order for up to 90-day supply for only one mail order co-pay, saving you over 60% over retail pharmacies.
• Generic drugs: Opt for generic equivalents of your prescription drugs to get the same health benefits at a lower cost. Ask your doctor or pharmacist whether a generic version of your medication is available and if it would be right for you. A generic equivalent is a medication that contains identical active drug ingredients, dosage, etc. of a brand name prescription drug.
