[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone  been able to speak to BCBS about this? And does being in Maryland w/CareFirst make a difference? I'm not willing to change my BCBS Standard plan just for this so I may just go the compound route but it still seems strange to me that CVS pick-up would not honor the mail price if Caremark won't mail a drug that no longer has a shortage.

I called CVS Caremark number yesterday and was told there is no date to start shipping any weight loss drugs at the $125/90 day supply price with BCBS standard.   Even if you have standard you will be forced to pay the per month price at a local pharmacy.   They will not price match and they do not have to tell anyone what drugs are not available via mail order (unless you specifically ask).  personally i feel like this is bait and switch-- they advertise that the drug is X amount, but then they unilaterally decide that they wont carry or ship it and you are forced to go retail.   I wish one of the federal workforce newspapers would look at this pharmacy issue.  I have had BCBS my entire career (fed and non fed) and i am seriously considering leaving it. [/quote]
