Effective January 1, 2020, AmeriHealth Pennsylvania
will update its list of specialty drugs that require member cost-sharing (e.g.,
copayment, deductible, and coinsurance). Cost-sharing applies to select medical
benefit specialty drugs for members who are enrolled in Commercial FLEX
products and other select plans. The member’s cost-sharing amount is
based on the terms of the member’s benefit contract. In accordance with
your Provider Agreement, it is the provider’s responsibility to verify a
member’s individual benefits and cost-share requirements.
The cost-share list will be expanded to include 186 drugs, including the
following additions:
- abicipar*
- brolucizumab*
- cabotegravir*
- cosyntropin depot*
- crizanlizumab*
- eptacog-beta*
- eptinezumab*
- Lapelga (pegfilgrastim)*
- leuprolide mesylate*
- luspatercept*
- RVT-802*
- Synojoynt™ (1% sodium hyaluronate solution)
- Triluron™ (sodium hyaluronate)
- Xembify® (immune globulin subcutaneous, human-klhw)
- Zynteglo™ (betibeglogene darolentivec)*
The updated list of specialty drugs with cost-sharing is available on our website.
*Pending approval from the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA).
