Draft Self-Administered Drug Policies

Draft self-administered drug policies are listed below. If there are no policies listed, it means there are currently no policies in draft status.

Drug policies are based on:

• Information in FDA-approved package inserts (and black box warnings, alerts or other information disseminated by the FDA, as applicable);
• Research of current medical and pharmacy literature; and/or,
• Review of common medical practices in the treatment and diagnosis of disease.

Note: Coverage is subject to member's specific benefits. Group-specific policies will supersede these policies, when applicable. Always verify member eligibility and benefits.

Pharmacy drug policies provide a guide to coverage. Pharmacy policies are not intended to dictate to providers how to practice medicine. Providers should exercise their medical judgment in providing the care they feel is most appropriate for their patients.
