The medications that will be included in this program effective January 1, 2024, are listed on the BridgeSpan EquaPathRx 2024 Medication List.
Implementation of this program will continue into 2024. Here’s what this means for you:
From January 1, 2024, to June 30, 2024: As we work with providers to contract with the Prime IntegratedRx - Medical® network and become a designated provider for this program, from January 1, 2024, to June 30, 2024, all BridgeSpan network providers are designated as eligible to provide medications included in the BridgeSpan EquaPathRx program (subject to otherwise applicable conditions) to members with this benefit. This means that members can continue to receive medications from you as they do today, and claims for medications included in this program will be processed based on your existing contract terms with us.
- Medications included in this program must be pre-authorized according to our medication policies, including the new Provider-Administered Specialty Drugs (dru764) policy, effective January 1, 2024.
Effective July 1, 2024: We expect providers to be contracted with the IntegratedRx - Medical network to be reimbursed for administering medications included in the BridgeSpan EquaPathRx program to members with this benefit.
- The medication portion of the claim will be adjudicated under the terms and rates of the agreement you have with Prime.
- Medications included in this program must be pre-authorized according to our medication policies and require administration by a participating IntegratedRx - Medical provider to be covered under the member’s benefits.
- If you have not contracted with Prime by July 1, 2024, provider-administered medications included in the BridgeSpan EquaPathRx program will not be covered for members with that benefit. There will be no change in reimbursement or experience for members who do not have this benefit.
Notes:
- With this program, you will continue to submit claims directly to us as you do today.
- For members included in the BridgeSpan EquaPathRx program, any provisions in existing provider agreements between BridgeSpan and the provider group or facility that address provider-administered medications and reimbursement schedules do not apply for the select list of provider-administered specialty medications in BridgeSpan EquaPathRx.
- For members not included in the BridgeSpan EquaPathRx program, reimbursement for provider-administered medications will continue under your existing Regence provider agreement terms.
Prime Therapeutics is currently credentialing and contracting providers for this new network. If you have not already, please reach out to your Prime contact now to complete the process of credentialing and contracting for the IntegratedRx - Medical Network.
If you have not yet contracted with Prime by July 1, 2024, we will work closely with you and our members to ensure they continue to have uninterrupted access to their treatment.
- Each provider group or facility that administers specialty medications needs to be credentialed and contracted as a dispensing provider with Prime Therapeutics.
- If your organization operates a specialty pharmacy that you want included in this network, your specialty pharmacy will need to complete the credentialing process to be included, even if they have an existing pharmacy contract with Prime Therapeutics.
- Your contract with Prime will have a reimbursement schedule that includes the medications in the BridgeSpan EquaPathRx program.
