Are You Eligible?

You may enroll in a BlueRx plan if:

  • You are entitled to Medicare Part A and enrolled in Medicare Part B due to your age or disability.
  • You are a resident of Tennessee or Alabama. (Alabama residents should contact Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama.)
  • You are enrolling during one of the designated enrollment periods.

You may only be enrolled in one Medicare Part D prescription drug plan at a time.

  • A Private Fee-For-Service plan that does not offer prescription drug coverage.
  • A Medial Savings Account plan (MSA).
  • An 1876 Cost plan.

You may be able to get Extra Help to pay for your prescription drug premiums and costs. To see if you qualify for getting Extra Help, call:
