When you enroll in a Blue Shield of California Medicare Advantage – Prescription Drug plan, your coverage provides a mail service option that offers cost savings and the convenience of home delivery.
Once your plan year begins, you will have access to this service. For more information visit our Pharmacy network page.
Talk to an adviser to find out more (866) 211-5601 TTY: 711
Start on our Resources page, which has useful links to features, benefits, and plan documents. If you’re already a Blue Shield member, log into your account for personalized information on your benefits.
Medicare Advantage Plans replace Original Medicare benefits, which you have contributed to in the form of payroll taxes. When you choose a Medicare Advantage Plan, you transfer your benefit to an insurer like Blue Shield of California. So we are reimbursed by the government and use that payment for your coverage with in-network providers.
