The Ask IBX tool does not have a direct connection to a real "live" representative, but instead accesses a database of commonly/frequently asked questions.
The Independence Blue Cross (IBX) Direct Ship Injectables Program facilitates the shipment and precertification (as required) of injectable medications such as Synvisc®, Hyalgan®, Lupron®, Zoladex®, and other injectable drugs that are not commonly stocked in a physician’s office.
Note: Items that are not available through this program include most vaccines, antibiotics, chemotherapy, vitamin B-12 injections, and drugs administered by infusion or routinely obtained by the physician at a relatively low cost.
This voluntary program is available to you or all of your patients who have their medical benefits through an IBX managed care program.
Please refer to the following information about the Direct Ship Injectables Program:
Please note that the forms below are only for drugs covered under the medical benefit. Injectable drugs listed in bold indicate preferred brands. Choosing one of these preferred brands does not affect the member’s cost–sharing for the drug.
