[
Effective January 1, 2014, the IBC medical policy for
Self-Injectable Drugs (#08.00.78i) will be renamed
Self-Administered Drugs when it is reissued as #08.00.78j. As a result, IBC is
expanding the policy to include
other types of drugs that members or their caregivers can safely and
effectively administer without the assistance
of a health care provider.
Self-administered drugs will be covered in accordance with the criteria
listed in the policy. The list of self-administered
drugs will continue to be available in Attachment A of the medical policy.
To view the policy notification (#08.00.78j) for this change and its
impacts, go to our Medical Policy
web page after October 3, 2013.
