Welcome to the Clinical Criteria Page
This page provides the clinical criteria documents for all injectable, infused, or implanted prescription drugs and therapies covered under the medical benefit. The effective dates for using these documents for clinical reviews are communicated through the Provider notification process. Until implementation, providers should continue to access the clinical criteria for medications covered under the medical benefit through the traditional process.
The clinical criteria information is alphabetized in the table below.
Development of clinical criteria
All clinical criteria are developed to help guide clinically appropriate use of drugs and therapies and are reviewed and approved by the Pharmacy and Therapeutics (P&T) Committee. The P&T Committee is an independent and external committee including practicing physicians, pharmacists, and clinicians from leading academic medical centers and clinical practices with expertise in evidence-based medicine. All major clinical specialties are represented.
If you have questions or feedback, please contact druglist@ingenio-rx.com.
