  • Psorcon®(Diflorasone Diacetate Cream, USP)
    PSORCON- diflorasone diacetate cream Taro Pharmaceuticals U.S.A., Inc. ---------- psorcon® (diflorasone diacetate cream, USP) 0.05% Rx only For External Use Only - Not for Ophthalmic Use. DESCRIPTION PSORCON® (diflorasone diacetate cream USP), 0.05% contains the active compound diflorasone diacetate, a synthetic corticosteroid for topical dermatological use. Chemically, diflorasone diacetate is 6α, 9α-difluoro-11β,17,21-trihydroxy-16-methylpregna-1,4-diene-3,20-dione 17,21 diacetate, with the empirical formula C26H32F2O7, a molecular weight of 494.5, and the following structural formula: Each gram of PSORCON® (diflorasone diacetate cream USP), 0.05% contains 0.5 mg diflorasone diacetate in a cream base consisting of butylated hydroxytoluene, cetyl alcohol, citric acid, glyceryl stearate/PEG 100 stearate, isopropyl myristate, lanolin alcohol, mineral oil, monobasic sodium phosphate, polyoxyl 40 stearate, polysorbate 60, propylene glycol, purified water, sorbitan monostearate and vegetable oil. CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Like other topical corticosteroids, diflorasone diacetate has anti-inflammatory, anti-pruritic, and vasoconstrictive actions. The mechanism of the anti-inflammatory activity of the topical corticosteroids, in general, is unclear. However, corticosteroids are thought to act by the induction of phospholipase A2 inhibitory proteins collectively called lipocortins. It is postulated that these proteins control the biosynthesis of potent mediators of inflammation such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes by inhibiting the release of their common precursor, arachidonic acid. Arachidonic acid is released from membrane phospholipids by phospholipase A2. Pharmacokinetics The extent of percutaneous absorption of topical corticosteroids is determined by many factors including the vehicle and the integrity of the epidermal barrier. Occlusive dressings with hydrocortisone for up to 24 hours have not been demonstrated to increase penetration; however, occlusion of hydrocortisone for 96 hours markedly enhances penetration.

  • Pharmacy J-Code Billing/Topical Corticosteroid
    Pharmacy Services (800) 522-0114, option 4 October 14, 2019 RE: Pharmacy J-Code Billing, Topical Corticosteroid Update Dear SoonerCare Provider, The purpose of this fax is to provide reminders regarding pharmacy J-code (HCPCS) billing and updates regarding coverage of topical corticosteroids (TCS). Pharmacies cannot process HCPCS codes for reimbursement through SoonerCare. Pharmacies may submit claims for drug products with a National Drug Code (NDC) for reimbursement via a pharmacy claim. Claims for medications billed by a pharmacy on a CMS1500 for HCPCS codes or J-codes will not process through the SoonerCare claims systems. Effective November 12, 2019, the following changes will apply for the TCS medications category: . Temovate® (clobetasol propionate 0.05% ointment) will move from Tier-3 to Tier-1. Prior authorization will no longer be required. Diprosone® (betamethasone dipropionate 0.05% ointment) and Trianex® (triamcinolone acetonide 0.05% ointment) will move from Tier-1 to Tier-2. Apexicon® (diflorasone diacetate 0.05% cream and ointment) and Apexicon E® (diflorasone diacetate/emollient 0.05% cream) will move from Tier-2 to Tier-3. Current users will not be “grandfathered”. All members receiving these medications will require that a manual prior authorization be submitted by their prescriber. Specific prior authorization criteria and Tier charts for TCS medications can be downloaded from www.okhca.org/pa, then clicking “Topical”. If a member requires any of the above medications, prior authorization requests can be submitted for consideration to SoonerCare Pharmacy Services. Prior authorization request forms can be found online at www.okhca.org/rxforms (PHARM-04). Thank you for the services you provide to Oklahomans insured by SoonerCare!
