Women’s Contraceptive Drug List Reminder

Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), certain U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved women’s contraceptives are covered with no member cost share when in-network providers and pharmacies are used. The list of women's contraceptives covered by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Oklahoma (BCBSOK) for eligible benefit plans was updated this year to include dosage strengths for some drugs. Eligible members with prescription drug coverage through Prime Therapeutics may find the Women’s Contraceptive Drug List in the Member Services/Prescription Drug Plan section of our website at bcbsok.com. If members have questions, they may contact the number on the back of their ID card for assistance.

Prime Therapeutics LLC is a pharmacy benefit management company. BCBSOK contracts with Prime to provide pharmacy benefit management, prescription home delivery and specialty pharmacy services. BCBSOK, as well as several other independent Blue Cross and Blue Shield Plans, has an ownership interest in Prime.
