New quantity limits coming for migraine medication
Starting July 1, 2020, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and Blue Care Network will have new quantity limits for the migraine medications listed below. The new quantity limits follow U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved dosing guidelines to help prevent unsafe use.
Members who are currently taking one of these medications may continue to receive it but must request approval if the use exceeds the new quantity limit.
We’ll notify affected members of these changes and encourage them to talk with their providers about treatment options. Also, we’ll tell them to talk with their providers about this change if they:
- Take a greater quantity than listed
- Need to increase the quantity
- Aren’t sure about the quantity they take
