  • Horizon Scanning Status Report June 2019
    Statement of Funding and Purpose This report incorporates data collected during implementation of the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) Health Care Horizon Scanning System, operated by ECRI Institute under contract to PCORI, Washington, DC (Contract No. MSA-HORIZSCAN-ECRI-ENG- 2018.7.12). The findings and conclusions in this document are those of the authors, who are responsible for its content. No statement in this report should be construed as an official position of PCORI. An intervention that potentially meets inclusion criteria might not appear in this report simply because the horizon scanning system has not yet detected it or it does not yet meet inclusion criteria outlined in the PCORI Health Care Horizon Scanning System: Horizon Scanning Protocol and Operations Manual. Inclusion or absence of interventions in the horizon scanning reports will change over time as new information is collected; therefore, inclusion or absence should not be construed as either an endorsement or rejection of specific interventions. A representative from PCORI served as a contracting officer’s technical representative and provided input during the implementation of the horizon scanning system. PCORI does not directly participate in horizon scanning or assessing leads or topics and did not provide opinions regarding potential impact of interventions. Financial Disclosure Statement None of the individuals compiling this information have any affiliations or financial involvement that conflicts with the material presented in this report. Public Domain Notice This document is in the public domain and may be used and reprinted without special permission. Citation of the source is appreciated.

  • Blue Cross and Blue Shield Enhanced July 2021 Dispensing Limits
    Enhanced Dispensing Limits (DL) Drug dispensing limits help encourage medication use as intended by the FDA. Coverage limits are placed on medications in certain drug categories. Limits may include: • Quantity of covered medication per prescription • Quantity of covered medication in a given time period If your doctor prescribes a greater quantity of medication than what the dispensing limit allows, you can still get the medication. However, you will be responsible for the full cost of the prescription beyond what your coverage allows. The following brand drugs, and their generic equivalents, if available, have dispensing limits. Some of these dispensing limits may not apply to all members or may vary based on state regulations. Some dispensing limits listed below may apply across multiple medications within a drug class. Some plans may exclude coverage for certain agents or drug categories, like those used for erectile dysfunction (example: Viagra). Some drugs may not be available through mail service. Coverage for some drug categories, such as specialty or other select non-specialty medications, may be limited to a 30‑day supply at a time depending on your particular benefit plan. Please see your plan materials or call the number on the back of your ID card to verify if you are uncertain of any plan limitations or exclusions. This list is subject to change.
