Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and Blue Care Network now offer four programs that help members save money on their prescriptions so that they can keep taking the medications they need to stay healthy. Blue Cross’ discount programs cut or eliminate member copays for certain prescription drugs, ranging from high-cost infusions to routine generic drugs, to help members take their medications the way their doctors prescribed. This helps members stay healthier and avoid bigger health care costs in the future.

- High-Cost Drug Discount Optimization Program, powered by PillarRx – This program matches members with manufacturer copay assistance programs to significantly lower their out-of-pocket costs on certain specialty and other high-cost prescription drugs.
- HelpScript – This program matches members with manufacturer copay assistance programs to eliminate their out-of-pocket costs on certain expensive specialty medications that are given through infusions or injections. Members pay no copayments. This is our newest program we launched in July 2025 for our HMO fully insured plan members and January 2026 for our PPO fully insured plan members.
- Drug Adherence Discount Program, powered by Sempre Health – Blue Cross and BCN members can save on certain brand-name medications they take to treat chronic health issues, including diabetes, cardiovascular conditions and respiratory conditions through this program.
- Price Edge – This program automatically finds members the lowest price for certain non-specialty generic drugs, including those that aren’t covered by their prescription drug plans. It works behind the scenes by searching for drug discount cards, like GoodRx or SingleCare, that have contracted with your pharmacy and applying the discounted price if it’s less than what you would pay using your insurance card.
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and Blue Care Network’s four discount programs have helped members save more than $100.3 million in out-of-pocket costs, making it easier for them to afford and stay on the medications they need to support their health.
