Prescription drugs and pharmacy

Medicare Part D benefits exclude the following types of drugs or drug classes from coverage:

  • Agents when used for anorexia, weight loss, or weight gain (even if used for a non-cosmetic purpose such as morbid obesity)
  • Agents when used to promote fertility
  • Agents when used for cosmetic purposes or hair growth
  • Agents when used for the symptomatic relief of cough and colds
  • Prescription vitamins and mineral products, except prenatal vitamins and fluoride preparations
  • Nonprescription drugs
  • Covered outpatient drugs which the manufacturer seeks to require as a condition of sale that associated tests or monitoring services be purchased exclusively from the manufacturer or its designee
  • Agents when used for the treatment of sexual or erectile dysfunction

Refer to the Excluded Drugs List (PDF). Please keep in mind the attached list is updated quarterly and is not all inclusive. You can also refer to your Evidence of Coverage for more information.

There are some drugs that require Step Therapy and/ or Prior Authorization under Medicare Part B.

Part B Step Therapy is a program that requires members to first try a safe, effective, lower-cost drug to treat their condition before Blue Cross NC will cover another drug for that condition. Please see the Drug List below for those drugs requiring Step Therapy under Medicare Part B.

Part B Prior Authorization is a review of the medical drug prior to administration to determine if the drug is eligible for coverage by Blue Cross NC. Coverage determinations will be made in accordance with guidelines set forth by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), including National Coverage Determinations (NDCs), Local Coverage Determinations (LCDs), and medically accepted indications.

These requests should be submitted on the appropriate Medicare Part B Prior Authorization or Part B Step Therapy fax form. Drug-specific fax forms and criteria can be found in the Drug Search box under the Prior Authorization and Step Therapy section of this webpage.
