Remaining members transition to IngenioRx on January 1, 2020

Anthem Blue Cross' (Anthem) launch of our new pharmacy benefits manager (PBM) solution, IngenioRx, is nearly complete. IngenioRx serves members of all Anthem affiliated-health plans. We began transitioning members on May 1, 2019, and have continued throughout 2019, with all members completely transitioned to IngenioRx by January 1, 2020.

As a reminder, most day-to-day pharmacy experiences will not be affected:

• Members will continue to use their prescription drug benefits as they always have, getting their medications using a retail pharmacy, home delivery, or specialty pharmacy.
• Current home delivery and specialty pharmacy prescriptions and prior authorizations will transfer automatically to IngenioRx when a member transitions, with the exception of controlled substances and compound drugs (see more below).
• If you use ePrescribing and are sending home delivery or specialty pharmacy prescriptions, simply select IngenioRx after your patient has transitioned.
• If you do not use ePrescribing, send home delivery or specialty pharmacy prescriptions to IngenioRx after your patient has transitioned (see contact information below).
• Members will continue to use the same drug list.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. When can I expect my patient to transition to IngenioRx?
A.  Most Anthem members have already transitioned to IngenioRx. The remaining members will be transitioned on January 1, 2020.

A. Availity displays member PBM information under the patient information section as part of the eligibility and benefits inquiry.

Availity includes the name of the PBM and date the member moved to IngenioRx, or the date the member is scheduled to move to IngenioRx.
