Bcbs Copay Waiver

WASHINGTON – The Blue Cross and Blue Shield Federal Employee Program® (FEP®) announced today that it will waive cost-sharing for coronavirus diagnostic testing, waive prior authorization requirements for treatment and take other steps to enhance access to care for those needing treatment for COVID-19 to ensure its members can swiftly access the right care in the right setting during the outbreak.

No-Pay Copay will pay for certain generic medications to treat your condition. All you need to do is complete a few simple health-enhancing activities each quarter. Each activity earns you points. When you earn at least 25 points in a quarter, you will receive your benefit the following quarter. Receive convenient messages about your health and health plan on your mobile device, including benefit updates, money-saving tips, and reminders about tests. You can unsubscribe at any time. Sign up today by texting 'BCBSRI' to 73529 or by calling 1-844. A copay (or coinsurance) is a cost sharing arrangement in which a member of Blue Shield pays a dollar amount, a percentage or a combination of both for a specific medical service. For example, $20 for an office visit or 30% for surgical procedures. Copays vary by plan type and services.

  3. FEP will increase access to prescription medications by waiving early medication refill limits on 30-day prescription maintenance medications. FEP will also encourage members to use 90-day mail order benefit.
  4. FEP will also eliminate any cost share for prescriptions for up to a 14-day supply.
  5. FEP will waive copays for telehealth services related to COVID-19.

“As Americans continue to monitor the coronavirus outbreak, one thing they should not be concerned with is whether Blue Cross and Blue Shield will be there for them,” said William A. Breskin, senior vice president of government programs for the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association. “We take our members’ health very seriously and want to make sure there are no barriers to their seeking appropriate care if they become sick.”

FEP and Blue Cross and Blue Shield (BCBS) companies are following CDC prevention guidelines and other federal recommendations and will continue to support and protect the health and well-being of its members, their families and the community. These actions will apply to all FEP members of the 36 U.S. and Puerto Rico-based BCBS companies, including those members located overseas, when applicable.
