Anthem expands specialty pharmacy precertification list

Effective for dates of service on or after December 1, 2024, the specialty Medicare Part B drugs listed below will be included in our precertification review process.

Federal and state law, as well as state contract language and CMS guidelines, including definitions and specific contract provisions/exclusions, take precedence over these precertification rules and must be considered first when determining coverage. Noncompliance with new requirements may result in denied claims.
