April Premera Formulary Newsletter
Rising prescription drug costs continue to be a challenge for employers and members alike. To help make medications more affordable, Premera partners with Rx Savings Solutions, an innovative pharmacy savings tool designed to help members lower their out-of-pocket costs on prescription drugs.
What is Rx Savings Solutions?
Rx Savings Solutions uses real prescription pricing and a member’s specific benefit information—including plan design and accumulators—to identify potential savings opportunities. When savings are available, eligible members are notified and guided on how they may be able to spend less on their prescriptions.
Savings opportunities may include:
- Switching to a pharmacy with lower out-of-pocket costs
- Using a generic or a different generic medication
- Learning about clinically appropriate therapeutic alternatives
Members can also log in proactively to search for savings opportunities on their medications.
Who is eligible?
- Fully insured and OptiFlex groups have Rx Savings Solutions embedded as part of their plan.
- Self-funded groups may elect Rx Savings Solutions as a buyup option and must have integrated pharmacy benefits with Premera.
How members access Rx Savings Solutions
Eligible members are invited to activate their account at myrxss.com/premera-bcbs. Once enrolled, they can view personalized savings opportunities based on their prescription history.
How members are notified
Rx Savings Solutions contacts members when savings opportunities are identified using:
- Letters
- Text messages (after members verify their mobile number in the portal)
Notifications are based on prescription fill history and are not immediate. Members may see savings opportunities near their next refill or when they log into their Rx Savings Solutions account.
Members can opt out of notifications at any time, including for specific medications.
Support for prescription changes
If a savings opportunity of $20 or more is identified, members can choose to:
- Use the Rx Savings Solutions concierge team to help manage the change
- Contact their pharmacist directly
- Share a letter with their prescriber
For savings under $20, members can contact their pharmacist or provide a prescriber letter.
Members who need assistance can:
- Email support@rxss.com
- Call 800‑268‑4476 (TTY: 800‑877‑8973)
