Updates to the AmeriHealth Pennsylvania medical benefit specialty drug cost-sharing list for 2018

February 6, 2018

Effective January 1, 2018, AmeriHealth Pennsylvania updated 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-sharing amounts.

The list has been expanded to include approximately 150 drugs, including additions for the following drugs:

  • FasenraTM (benralizumab)
  • LuxturnaTM (voretigene neparvovec-rzyl)
  • MepseviiTM (vestronidase alfa-vjbk)
  • Radicava® (edaravone)
  • SublocadeTM (buprenorphine)
The comprehensive list of specialty drugs with cost-sharing is now available on our website.
