Effective July 1, 2025, Independence Blue Cross will update its list of specialty drugs that require member cost-sharing (i.e., 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 updated cost-share list will include the following additions:
- Kebilidi™ – Gene replacement/gene editing therapies
- Rebisufligene etisparvovec – Gene replacement/gene editing therapies
- Zopapogene imadenovec – Gene replacement/gene editing therapies
