Infused and Injectable Medication Program

Moda Health partners with MagellanRx to assist you in medical pharmacy management through the provider administered infused and injectable medication program. Moda Health is committed to providing our members with access to high-quality healthcare. With this commitment in mind and to ensure quality care and affordability for our members, we offer several programs centered around provider administered medications.

Injectable Medications Covered Under the Medical Benefit

MagellanRx or Moda Health will review your prior authorization requests for select specialty injectable/infused medications that are given in an outpatient facility, a patient’s home, or a physician’s office.

Infused and Injectable Medication Utilization Management Programs

Post Service Claim Edits Program (PSCE)

In partnership with Magellan Rx, Moda Health has a claim check program for injectable and/or infusion medications.

The claim check program monitors and promotes appropriate use, safety, and cost effectiveness of medications prescribed to our members. We do this by reviewing claims post-service, but pre-payment for appropriate frequency, correct units, and eligible diagnosis codes.

This program only applies to Texas Equal Funding Groups at this time.

Site of Care Specialty Infusion Program

Through the current prior authorization program administered by Magellan Rx, infusion requests for a hospital outpatient setting for the medications listed under “Injectable Medication Criteria Policies” will be redirected to a preferred site of service, which will be either preferred home infusion providers or a professional office setting. Infusions for these medications will not be covered when administered in a hospital outpatient infusion center.

The medications included in the Site of Care program already require prior authorization through Magellan Rx. The Site of Care program requirements will be administered as part of the existing prior authorization program. As a reminder, Moda will deny services as provider responsibility when prior authorization is not obtained for any medications that require prior authorization..

This program only applies to Texas Equal Funding Groups. Texas Individual and Texas Large Group members are not subject to this program.

Injectable Medication Criteria Policies

Most infused or injectable medications are reviewed by MagellanRx, but some are reviewed by Moda Health. Please see the bottom of the Injectable Medication Prior Authorization List to find out which medications should be submitted directly to Moda Health.
