Changes to medical policy for self-injectable drugs

October 2, 2013

[

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.
