You should continue to get your short-term prescriptions, such as antibiotics, from your local pharmacy where you may pay less if you only need a one-month supply.

What to expect

The Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina (Blue Cross NC) mail order prescription program offers you the convenience of receiving up to a 90-day supply of medication delivered to you with free standard shipping.

Typically, you should receive your prescription drugs within 5 to 14 days from the time the pharmacy receives the order. If you do not receive your prescription drug(s) within this time, please contact us at the phone number listed on the back of your Member ID card.
