Does Metoprolol Go By Another Name?

I recently had to change insurance companies and the new one (BC/BS) is advocating I use home delivery for my prescriptions. I ve been trying to look them up on their website to see what the cost is but it doesn t recognize one of my blood pressure medications. The med is Metroprolol 50mg, but I can t seem to find it on their website or yours. Is there another name for it?
