Prescription Drug Coverage
Prescription drug coverage is a vital aspect of BCBS Medicare Advantage Plans, providing access to necessary medications affordably.

For chronic conditions like diabetes, BCBS Medicare Advantage Plans offer preferred products for diabetic test strips, including Ascensia (Contour) and Abbott (Freestyle). This targeted support aids in managing chronic conditions more effectively, ensuring access to the best tools and medications available.
Vision, Dental, and Hearing Benefits
While medical and prescription drug coverage are essential, BCBS Medicare Advantage Plans also excel in additional benefits, especially in vision, dental, and hearing care. Routine dental and hearing services are often covered, enhancing overall health and quality of life. Higher-end premium plans provide even more extensive coverage options, including enhanced dental and vision care.
Vision care typically includes:
- Coverage for annual eye exams

Dental benefits cover preventative services like routine cleanings and exams at no additional cost, with options to enhance coverage for services such as dentures, bridges, and implants.
Hearing benefits are equally comprehensive, covering hearing tests and a specific number of hearing aids per year at a copayment. This approach ensures all aspects of your health are addressed, providing peace of mind and improved quality of life.
