Your Monthly Plan Premium for People who get Extra Help from Medicare to Help Pay for their Prescription Drug Costs
If you get extra help from Medicare to help pay for your Medicare prescription drug plan costs, your monthly plan premium may be lower than what it would be if you did not get extra help from Medicare. The amount of extra help you get will determine your total monthly plan premium as a member of our Plan.
These tables show you what your monthly plan premium will be if you get extra help.

Best Available Evidence Policy
If you believe you qualified for extra help and that you are paying an incorrect copayment amount when you get your prescription at a pharmacy, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts has established a process that will allow you to either request assistance in obtaining evidence of your proper copayment level, or, if you already have the evidence, to provide this evidence to us. This is known as the Best Available Evidence Policy. Please contact Member Services for a complete list of acceptable forms of evidence or view the CMS Best Available Evidence Policy.
This information is not a complete description of benefits. Contact the plan for more information. Limitations, copayments, and restrictions may apply. Premium may change on January 1 of each year.
