Updated Coverage for Breast Cancer prevention medications
This coverage change aligns with the updated USPSTF “B” recommendation regarding Breast Cancer: Medication Use to Reduce Risk. This updated recommendation now includes aromatase inhibitors among medications that can reduce risk of breast cancer (in addition to tamoxifen or raloxifene). The USPSTF recommends that clinicians offer to prescribe risk-reducing medications, such as tamoxifen, raloxifene, or aromatase inhibitors, to women who are at increased risk for breast cancer and at low risk for adverse medication effects.
Providers can contact the provider service number on the back of the member ID card to determine if a member’s plan includes this benefit.
