Effective September 1, 2016, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City (Blue KC) will update its prescription drug list (PDL), which will result in select medications moving from Tier 1 to Tier 2 and others from Tier 2 to Tier 3. When multiple tiers are present within a drug class, generally members must try a lower tier medication before a higher tier can be dispensed. In addition, quantity limits to various medications will be applied. The list of quantity limits is available at BlueKC.com (click "Contact", then click "FAQs" and scroll to "Medications with Quantity Limits").

The tables below contain detailed information regarding these changes. If you have questions, please call Pharmacy Customer Service at 816.395.2176 or 800.228.1436 and ask for the Clinical Unit.
