Important information about your Anthem patients’ Botox prescriptions

Effective March 1, 2024, prescriptions for Botox currently filled by Accredo Specialty Pharmacy will transfer to BioPlus, which is CarelonRx, Inc.’s new specialty pharmacy that services Anthem members.

What happens next:

  • If you have patients affected by this pharmacy change, BioPlus will contact you to request a new prescription, refill, or prior authorization.
  • Current specialty prescriptions for Botox with open refills will automatically transfer to BioPlus.
  • Impacted patients will receive a letter and a phone call, explaining this transition.
  • There is nothing you or your patients need to do except speak with BioPlus when they call.
  • Any new Botox medication you prescribe for Anthem members must be submitted to BioPlus Specialty Pharmacy, to their MedScripts Medical Pharmacy location, as follows:
    • Medscripts Medical Pharmacy
      1325 Mille Road Suite K  
      Greenville, SC 29607
    • NPI: 1780958744
    • Phone: 866-840-4067
    • Fax: 833-670-2942
  • If you prefer, you still have the option to purchase and supply the Botox. In this case, you would bill Anthem for the drug and administration of the drug.

If you have any questions, please call your Anthem representative. With your help, we can continually build towards a future of shared success.
