A smarter approach to pharmacy benefits
The pharmacy is one of the most common touchpoints employees have with the health care system. It's also an area where costs continue to rise.
That’s why Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina (Blue Cross NC) is introducing CurateRx. Our integrated pharmacy solution brings together programs, services, and vendor partnerships to help:
- Manage pharmacy costs
- Improve access to medications
- Support employees throughout their care journey
- Provide greater flexibility for employers
The approach supports employers across a variety of plan types and funding arrangements while maintaining a consistent experience for employees.
Pharmacy benefits for employers
Our pharmacy benefits are supported by clinical programs, pharmacy networks, and member resources designed to meet a wide range of needs.
