My Health Toolkit Prescription Drug Enhancements

December 27, 2011

BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina is pleased to announce that My Health Toolkit® will feature enhancements to the Prescription Drugs section that will make it easier than ever for members who have pharmacy benefits through BlueCross to manage their prescription drug costs. PLEASE NOTE: If members do not have pharmacy benefits with BlueCross, they will no longer see the Prescription Drugs section or use the Prescription Drugs tools in My Health Toolkit.

In December, BlueCross will launch the new look for prescription drug information along with several new features and tools. These My Health Toolkit enhancements will retire the name My Pharmacy Manager and will simply provide a Prescription Drugs section under the Benefits tab along with direct links to the tools available.

With these new or enhanced tools, members can:

  • Get pharmacy-specific pricing estimates — Members select the pharmacies they wish to use to get more accurate estimates
  • View near real-time claims history — Displays claims just seconds after they are transmitted by pharmacies
  • Print a pre-formatted list of their medication histories
  • Receive personal alerts to help them better manage their medications

Members still have access to current popular tools such as:

  • Member-specific drug benefits
  • Therapeutic alternatives and cost comparisons
  • Generic savings opportunities

Single Sign-On

As part of the enhancements, BlueCross has also created a single sign-on process to simplify access to prescription drug information. When subscribers access the links in the Prescription Drugs section for the first time, they will be required to register at Caremark.com. After the initial registration, subscribers will not have to sign on to Caremark.com again once logged into My Health Toolkit. NOTE: Subscribers who already have a profile set up at Caremark.com will not need to register.

Family Access

Subscribers will have access to their covered, minor dependents’ pharmacy information. However, due to privacy requirements, they will not have automatic access to pharmacy information for their spouses or adult dependent children (age 16 or older) unless their spouses or adult dependent children grant access. Likewise, if subscribers would like their spouses and adult dependent children to have access to their information, subscribers will need to grant access to them. To grant family members access, members should do the following:

  1. Select My Account.
  2. Under Update My Profile, select Family Access.
  3. Follow the instructions on the screen.
