On June 7, 2019, Independence launched a new webpage
to support its Dosage and Frequency Program. As part of this program,
Independence reviews the requested dosage and frequency of certain specialty
drugs eligible for coverage under the medical benefit. This review is part of
the precertification process and helps ensure that the medications our members
receive are safe, appropriate, and cost-effective for their condition.
In addition to providing detailed information about the Dosage and Frequency
Program, the webpage includes a comprehensive list of drugs that require review
for dosage and frequency. This list is updated throughout the year, as the
program expands. There are 60 drugs currently included in this program.
For more information about the Dosage and Frequency Program, visit our new,
dedicated webpage.
