Changes coming for Retirees Using Specialty Medications January 1, 2017
Sep 14, 2016
There will be changes to our prescription drug medications for public school retirees that use specialty medications. These changes will take place on January 1, 2017. The Office of Retirement Services has sent us the following information. . Please note the difference between Non-Medicare and Medicare members. These changes only apply to members who have Blue Cross/Blue Shield PPO coverage, and have OptiumRx for prescription drugs.
As of January 1, 2017 BriovaRx will handle all specialty medication needs for non-Medicare members. Beginning January 1, 2017 Medicare enrolled members will receive savings on preferred specialty medications filled at BriovaRx. These savings are available exclusively at BriovaRx. Our Patient Care Coordinators and Pharmacists at BriovaRx are highly trained to understand your special therapy needs, and we ship your medication wherever you need it—in safe, temperature-controlled and tested packaging—at no cost to you.
If you currently utilize a specialty pharmacy other than BriovaRx, here’s what you need to do:
