Prior authorization requirements for Cabazitaxel (Jevtana)
Effective September 1, 2018, prior authorization (PA) requirements will change for injectable drug Cabazitaxel (Jevtana) to be covered by Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Medicaid. Federal and state law, as well as state contract language and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services guidelines, including definitions and specific contract provisions/exclusions take precedence over these PA rules and must be considered first when determining coverage. Noncompliance with new requirements may result in denied claims.
PA requirements will be added to the following:
- Cabazitaxel (Jevtana) — injection, 1 mg (J9043)
To request PA, you may use one of the following methods:
- Web: https://www.availity.com
- Fax: 1-800-964-3627
- Phone: 1-855-661-2028
Not all PA requirements are listed here. Detailed PA requirements are available to contracted providers by accessing the provider self-service tool (https://www.availity.com). Contracted and non-contracted providers who are unable to access Availity may call us at 1-855-661-2028 for PA requirements.
