Blue Cross expands MedsYourWay® benefits to retail pharmacies
September 1, 2022At Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota, we believe every member should have reliable access to high-quality medical services and affordable prescription drugs.
As part of our ongoing commitment to share information that can help people make more informed decisions about their health, Blue Cross and Blue Plus now offers the MedsYourWay® drug discount program at most local retail pharmacies.
The MedsYourWay® program compares your insurance coverage against drug discount cards and automatically selects the lowest price available, saving you time and money.
“Blue Cross believes getting the health care you need – including medications – should be easy and within reach for all our members,” says Stacy Sather, pharmacy operations manager at Blue Cross. “The MedsYourWay program is a great way for members to get the best medication prices with no additional cost or effort required on their part.”
How it works
MedsYourWay® automatically compares medicine prices from multiple drug discount cards with your health plan benefit. By showing your insurance card at the pharmacy counter, you’ll pay the best price available for your specific medication.
Regardless of whether your health plan offers the best price or the drug discount card, purchases for covered drugs apply towards your deductible and out-of-pocket maximum.
Expansion of program
This expansion builds on the program Blue Cross launched this past spring with MedsYourWay Home Delivery and Amazon Pharmacy. Amazon Pharmacy offers free shipping for medications that can be delivered directly to your home in a few days. The MedsYourWay discount program is integrated into the service for eligible Blue Cross members.
Who is eligible?
All commercial health plan members (coverage through an employer or enrollment through the individual marketplace) with pharmacy benefits through Blue Cross have access to the MedsYourWay drug discount program at your local retail pharmacy.

There is no RxBIN column on my card. Another question is, how do I know the most favorable price for this medicine? Where can I check it?
