• List of medicines Medicaid pays for instead of Blue Cross Complete (PDF)

There may be a small copay for these medicines and you will need to show your mihealth card at the pharmacy. The mihealth card is your Michigan Medicaid card.

Members age 21 and older will have a copay. This means you pay a small charge for these medicines when you fill your prescription. The state's copay for these medicines is $1 for generic medicine and $3 for brand name medicine.

NOTE: The medicines on the Blue Cross Complete Preferred Drug List (PDF) remain covered by Blue Cross Complete. You still will not have a copay for medicines on this list. At the pharmacy, you will show your Blue Cross Complete ID card.
