INTRODUCTION
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX) administers the preventive drug benefit for your group’s high-deductible health plan (“HDHP”), which has been designed for use with health savings accounts (“HSAs”). The preventive drug benefit program includes categories of prescription drugs that are frequently used for preventive purposes. If your doctor has prescribed any of them to you for preventive purposes, then you and your HSA-eligible dependents may have coverage before satisfying your HDHP deductible.
Below and on the following pages is a guide listing some examples of drugs that are commonly prescribed for preventive purposes. Coverage of all medications is still subject to your HDHP limitations, exclusions and out-of-pocket requirements (for example, your prescription drug payment levels). Coverage of some medications or drug products may be covered under your medical benefit.
IMPORTANT REMINDER: These drugs could also at times be prescribed for treatment purposes. As a result, the listing of a drug in the Guide does not mean that it will be covered by your particular benefit plan before your HDHP deductible is satisfied. If your doctor has prescribed a listed drug for treatment purposes (and not preventive purposes) then your plan does not provide coverage for that drug before your HDHP deductible is satisfied.
As each individual’s medical circumstances are different, and because proper classification is necessary for you to ensure you are complying with your HDHP tax obligations, it is important for you to confirm the purpose of the prescription with your doctor. Please call the number on the back of your member ID card when your doctor confirms to you that he or she prescribed one of the listed drugs for treatment purposes so your claims can be processed correctly. Unless you provide us with this information, claims for the drugs listed in the Guide will be processed as “preventive,” and you or your doctor may be asked by us to provide medical records showing that the drug you’re taking is being used for prevention. Remember, if you improperly classify the drug, it may result in adverse tax consequences, so please be sure to take the confirming step to properly classify your claim.
REMEMBER: Just because a drug is on the list, doesn’t always mean it is covered.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS:
1. Find your drug in the Guide.
2. Talk to your doctor about whether your drug is in fact being prescribed for preventive purposes (and not treatment purposes).
3. If prescribed for treatment purposes, call the number on the back of your ID card to let us know.
4. If prescribed for preventive purposes, there is no need to call.

This Guide lists some, but not all, examples of drugs that are commonly prescribed for preventive purposes. It is being provided to you at your employer’s request as a resource to help you in managing your prescription drug benefits under your employer’s HDHP.
This list does not include all drugs that may be prescribed as preventive. It will be reviewed periodically and is subject to change. Coverage of all medications is still subject to your HDHP limitations, exclusions and out-of pocket requirements (for example, your prescription drug payment levels). Coverage of some medications or drug products may be covered under your medical benefit.
It is important to note, for the reasons described in the Introduction to this Guide, that the listing of a drug in the Guide does not mean that it will be covered by your particular benefit plan before your HDHP deductible is satisfied. Please follow the steps outlined in the Introduction to ensure you are properly directing the processing of your claims.

• Anti-angina
