When you enroll in a Blue Shield of California Medicare Advantage – Prescription Drug plan, your coverage provides a mail service benefit that offers cost savings and the convenience of home delivery. This benefit is not initially available with Medicare Supplement plans, but you can add it to your plan later.
Once your plan year begins, you will have access to this benefit. For more information visit our Pharmacy network page.

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.
