Effective January 1, 2016, Independence will update our list of specialty drugs
that require cost-sharing. Cost-sharing applies to select medical benefit
specialty drugs for members who are enrolled in Commercial Flex products and
select customized plans. The member's cost-sharing amount is based on the terms
of the member's benefit contract. Individual benefits should be verified using
the NaviNet
® web portal.
The current list will be expanded to include more than 70 specialty drugs, as
well as all intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) formulations, eligible for
coverage under the medical benefit.
The updated list will be posted to our website in December, prior to these
changes going into effect. The current 2015 cost-sharing list can be accessed
through this link until December 31, 2015.
Look for more information on medical benefit specialty drug cost-sharing in the
December 2015 edition of Partners in Health Update
SM.
