1 October 2016 Prior Authorization and Voluntary Preservice Determination Requests for Certain Pharmacy Drugs Important Changes We want to let you know that on November 14, 2016, we will change prior authorization and voluntary preservice determination submission processes, and change the entity who will manage select medical pharmacy drugs. Currently, Magellan Rx Management only performs prior authorization and voluntary preservice determination requests for participating physicians who buy and bill for drugs included in the Physician Administered Drug Program list of drugs that require prior authorization. Starting November 14, Magellan Rx Management will also review additional prior authorization and voluntary preservice determination requests for specific drug services that are currently managed by Florida Blue. Summary of changes effective November 14, 2016: All providers, including physicians, hospitals, ancillary and out-of-state providers, who buy and bill for medications, must submit voluntary preservice reviews through Magellan Rx Management instead of Florida Blue for the drugs included in the Physician Administered Drug Program list. Florida Blue will continue to manage drugs that are not included in this list. To ensure consistency, and reduce confusion about where to submit prior authorization or voluntary predetermination requests for drugs included in the Physician Administered Drug program list, all requests must be submitted to Magellan Rx Management instead of Florida Blue. This applies to drugs administered by all provider and facility types in the following care settings: office, home, outpatient hospital, ambulatory surgical center, ambulatory infusion suites, public health clinics, rural health clinics, and/or other outpatient settings. New medications may be added to the list of Physician Administered Drugs Program drugs periodically, so it is important to refer to this list in the provider manual on our website at floridablue.com. Medications for members enrolled in the following programs are excluded from management by Magellan Rx Management: Federal Employee Program, Medicare Supplement, when Medicare Part B is primary, and/or other Blue Plan members who receive services in Florida through the BlueCard program. Magellan Rx Management will provide these utilization management services on our behalf for members who are enrolled in the following health plans: BlueCare HMO (Health Options, Inc.) - all members BlueMedicare SM HMO - all members BlueOptions SM (NetworkBlue) BlueMedicare SM PPO

2 myblue (myblue network) BlueSelect (BlueSelect network) Group BlueChoice (Preferred Patient Care) Identifies the products above that require prior authorization for select plans (e.g., Qualified Health Plans, Affordable Care Act, etc.) within the specified product. The plans that do not require prior authorization are eligible for a Voluntary Preservice Determination Review. Magellan Rx Management will provide Voluntary Preservice Determination Reviews on our behalf for members who are enrolled in the following health plans: State Employees PPO Plan all members Traditional Indemnity plans all members BlueOptions SM (NetworkBlue) - for the plans that do not require prior authorization Miami-Dade Blue GoBlue all members Group BlueChoice (Preferred Patient Care) - for the plans that do not require prior authorization Individual BlueChoice (Preferred Patient Care) All prior authorizations/ voluntary preservice determination reviews for the drugs listed below will need to be submitted to Magellan Rx Management on and after November 14, How to obtain a preservice review You can obtain a preservice review by accessing Magellan Rx Management s secure website at ih.magellanrx.com or by calling them at (800) Please refer to Magellan s helpful step-by-step guide called Access Prior Authorizations for Magellan Rx Medications on the Florida Blue website at floridablue.com. You can also refer to Florida Blue s Manual for Physicians and Providers on our website for details about the Physician Administered Drug Program.
