Draft Provider-Administered Drug Policies

Draft policies are listed below. If there are no policies listed, it means there are currently no policies in draft status.

Provider-administered oncology drugs require that a member’s medical condition meets the policy requirements prior to being given (precertification) unless otherwise specified.

Providers must submit a request through Prime Therapeutics for pre-service review in order to be approved. If the provider does not receive approval for precertification, the plan will pay no benefits.  

Currently, precertification for these provider-administered drugs is required when administered in a provider’s office, outpatient facility or home health setting; however, this precertification does not apply to inpatient hospital claims at this time.

Note: Coverage is subject to the member's specific benefits. Group-specific benefits will supersede these policies when applicable. Always check eligibility and benefits through your local Blue Plan provider portal or your practice management system to confirm member-specific benefits.

To request a copy of a drug policy, members can contact Customer Service by calling the number on their ID card.
