Mail Service Prescription Drug Program
For members enrolled in the FEP Medicare Prescription Drug Program, if your doctor orders more than a 21-day supply of covered drugs or supplies, up to a 90-day supply, you can use this service for your prescriptions and refills.
Please refer to Section 7 for instructions on how to use the Mail Service Prescription Drug Program.
Note: You must obtain prior approval for certain drugs before Mail Service will fill your prescription. See Section 3.
Note: Not all drugs are available through the Mail Service Prescription Drug Program.
Note: We waive your cost-share for available forms of generic contraceptives and for brand-name contraceptives that have no generic equivalent or generic alternative, as listed in each therapeutic class under the HRSA guidelines found at https://www.hrsa.gov/womens-guidelines, when purchased from a Preferred retail pharmacy. You may seek an exception for any contraceptive that is not available with zero-member cost-share. Your provider will need to complete the Contraceptive Exception Form under Pharmacy Forms found on our website at www.fepblue.org/claim-forms. If you have questions about the exception process, call 800-624-5060.
Contact Us: If you have any questions about this program, or need assistance with your Mail Service drug orders, please call 800-262-7890, TTY: 711.

If you have already sent in your copayment, they will credit your account with any difference.
