AmeriHealth is developing medical policies for these drugs. In the absence of a published medical policy, coverage requests for these drugs will be subject to review in accordance with the FDA-approved indications and AmeriHealth-recognized compendia.

These changes are reflected in an updated precertification requirement list, which is available on our website.
