Exciting news for our prescription drug plan members!
Just a few months since announcing our collaboration with Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Company (Cost Plus Drugs), we’re expanding it! Starting January 1, 2023, Cost Plus Drugs will begin accepting Capital Blue Cross prescription drug coverage.
Capital Blue Cross was the first health plan in the country to collaborate with Cost Plus Drugs, helping our members and communities gain greater access to low-cost prescription drugs and transparent pricing. Now, our prescription drug plan members will be able to add their Capital ID card number to their Cost Plus Drugs online account to apply their benefits. Using Cost Plus Drugs is easy.
Cost Plus Drugs is affiliated with billionaire Mark Cuban, who’s working to disrupt the drug industry by offering substantially discounted pricing on a wide range of commonly used generic drugs. Discounts can be as large as 80% below retail!
All costs (except expedited shipping) are included in the cost of each drug on the Cost Plus Drugs website. Pricing is consistently based on: the cost they pay for a drug; plus 15% (to pay for running their business); a pharmacy charge for dispensing the drug; and a charge for standard shipping.
We’ll soon be sending an email to your clients with prescription drug plans to let them know about this new convenience. In mid-January, we’ll let members know.
We wish you a happy, healthy holiday season and new year!
