Medicare prescription drug coverage for every budget

With a Blue Shield Medicare Prescription Drug Plan (PDP), you can get the help you need to pay for generic and brand-name drugs not covered by Original Medicare. You may even save money if you obtain a 90-day supply of your maintenance medication¹ at a retail pharmacy that offers preferred cost-sharing or at our mail service pharmacy. Ask your doctor or pharmacist how.
