Six additional drugs to be added to commercial PPO 15-day Specialty Drug Limitation Program, starting Aug. 1

Starting Aug. 1, 2018, the following six drugs are being added to the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan commercial PPO 15-Day Specialty Drug Limitation Program:

  • Bosulif®
  • Caprelsa®
  • Exjade®
  • Erivedge®
  • Gilotrif®
  • Jadenu®

Instead of a 30-day supply, we’ll limit all fills to a 15-day supply. This includes first fills and refills. Members will pay half of their copayment for a 15-day supply.

Blue Cross limits the day-supply quantity of a medication that a pharmacy can dispense to:

  • Help save members money on copayments
  • Reduce drug waste

We’ll add more drugs to the 15-day program throughout the year. Here’s the full list, including the six new drugs:
