2025 Blue Cross and Blue Shield Service Benefit Plan - FEP Blue Focus Section 5(f). Prescription Drug Benefits MPDP Generic equivalents
Generic equivalents
Generic equivalent drugs have the same active ingredients as their brand-name equivalents. By filling your prescriptions (or those of family members covered by the Plan) at a Preferred retail pharmacy or through the Specialty Drug Pharmacy Program, you authorize the pharmacist to substitute any available U.S. FDA-approved generic equivalent, unless you or your physician specifically request a brand-name drug. Keep in mind that FEP Blue Focus members must use network pharmacies in order to receive benefits. See Section 10 for our definitions of generic alternatives and generic equivalents.
