Part D Prescription Drug Coverage from Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey

Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey offers a choice of two affordable prescription drug plans. Each is designed to help you lower prescription drug costs and give you protection against excessive out-of-pocket costs should your prescription medication needs ever increase. You can save on both brand name and generic drugs.

When you join one of these plans, Medicare helps pay a portion of the costs. That allows Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey to offer you more coverage for less money.

Horizon Medicare Blue Rx Standard

Featuring Easy-to-Budget Prescription Drug Copays

With the Horizon Medicare Blue Rx Standard Plan option, coverage begins after you meet your $295 deductible. The Horizon Medicare Blue Rx Standard Plan features a copay of just $7 for generic drugs, $37 copay for covered preferred brand drugs, and $74 copay for non-preferred brand drugs until your total annual prescription costs reach $2,700. You pay 100% of the annual costs you incur between $2,700 and $4,350 (out-of pocket maximum); however, Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey's special negotiated rates for prescription drugs apply. Once your annual drug costs exceed $4,350, you pay just $2.40 per generic/preferred or $6 for all others or 5% of the drug's cost, whichever is greater.

Horizon Medicare Blue Rx Plus

Featuring No Deductible and $0 for Generic Drugs

The Horizon Medicare Blue Rx Plus Plan option features no deductible and a copay of $0 for covered generic drugs, a $37 copay for covered preferred brand drugs, and a $74 copay for non-preferred brand drugs until your total annual prescription costs reach $2,700. You then pay $0 for generic drugs and 100% of the costs for all other drugs when your annual drug costs are between $2,700 and $4,350 (out-of-pocket maximum). However, Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey's special negotiated rates for prescription drugs apply. Once your annual drug costs exceed $4,350, you pay just $2.40 per generic/preferred or $6 for all others or 5% of the drug's cost, whichever is greater.
