AMO Plans: Notice regarding new pharmacy benefit manager in 2022

American Maritime Officers Plans participants should be on the lookout for their new Healthcare ID Cards. The cards are now being mailed and are on their way.

It is important to keep using your current Healthcare ID Card until December 31, 2021. Starting January 1, 2022, you will need to present your new card at the pharmacy so your pharmacist can update SmithRx as your new pharmacy benefit manager and fill your prescriptions.

As previously announced, starting January 1, 2022, our new pharmacy benefit partner will be SmithRx. Your new Healthcare ID Card will include the new information for SmithRx in the bottom left corner along with new phone numbers on the back of the card. There will be no changes to the Plan's current prescription benefit design.

Please note: There will be no changes to the existing Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) information on your new Healthcare ID Card. All BCBS information remains the same and no action is required.

Please note: If you are MEDICARE PRIMARY, your prescription drug plan will continue to be administered through Elixir in 2022.

We want to reassure you that we are working hard to ensure this transition will be smooth and seamless. If you have any questions, please be sure to contact the AMO Medical Benefits Department at 800-348-6515 extension 12 or .
