Prior authorization requirements for Darzalex (daratumumab) drug

Effective September 1, 2018, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Medicaid prior authorization (PA) requirements will change for the injectable drug Darzalex (daratumumab) for Medicaid members. 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:

J9145— Injection, Darzalex (daratumumab), 10 mg
