Important update to Anthem’s commercial drug lists

Effective with dates of service on and after October 1, 2019, and in accordance with Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield’s Pharmacy and Therapeutic (P&T) process, Anthem will update our commercial drug lists. Updates may include changes to drug tiers or the removal of a drug.

 

To help ensure a smooth transition and minimize member costs, providers should review these changes and consider prescribing a preferred drug to patients currently using a non-preferred drug, if appropriate.

Please note, this update does not apply to the Select Drug List or drugs lists utilized by the Federal Employee Program (FEP).
