It\u2019s not their fault\u2014that\u2019s just not how the system usually works.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s why Blue KC gives our members access to a service called Rx Savings Solutions (RxSS). RxSS was created and is run by pharmacists who want to help people understand what lower-cost options they have for their medications.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The clinical pharmacy team at RxSS has <strong>three basic questions you can ask your doctor to help easily find ways to save money on your prescriptions<\/strong>:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>#1: Is there a generic option available?<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many brand-name medications have generic versions that can cost a lot less.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>#2: Is there another drug in the same class that\u2019s more affordable?<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, there\u2019s more than one medication available to treat a medical condition.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>#3: Can I save money by taking this drug in a different form?<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Believe it or not, a capsule might cost more than a tablet, or a lotion may cost less than an ointment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make things even easier, use your RxSS account when talking with your doctor. It will show you whether more affordable options are available for your current prescriptions, and you can search and compare prices at different pharmacies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Can You Get Started?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/myrxss.com\/bluekc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Activate your account or log in today<\/strong><\/a><strong> to get started.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can always access RxSS by logging in to\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/members.bluekc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MyBlueKC.com<\/a>, then selecting \u201cPlan Benefits,\u201d then \u201cPharmacy.\u201d Once you\u2019re on the \u201cPharmacy Plan Info\u201d page, select \u201cSpend Less on Prescription Drugs\u201d and you\u2019ll be directed to RxSS where you can view your current savings opportunities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a free, simple and secure tool that can show you\u2014and your doctor\u2014all your options and the price you\u2019ll pay with your insurance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2445,"template":"","class_list":["post-2444","well_said","type-well_said","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>RX Pharmacy Talk - February 2023 - The Blueprint Blog - Blue KC<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"RX Pharmacy Talk - February 2023 - The Blueprint Blog - Blue KC\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Three Questions to Ask Your Doctor for Lower Prescription Drug Costs&nbsp; Your healthcare providers know a lot, but most of the time they don\u2019t know the details of your Blue KC health plan or what prescriptions may end up costing you at the pharmacy.
