Specialty pharmacy preapproval list update

Effective for dates of service on and after August 1, 2025, the specialty Medicare Part B drug listed in the table below will be included in our preapproval review process.

Federal and state law, state contract language, and CMS guidelines, including definitions and specific contract provisions/exclusions, take precedence over preapproval rules and must be considered first when determining coverage. Claims that do not comply with these new requirements may not be approved.
