Action needed
Immediately: Billing team must obtain and review the complete revised Sustol® granisetron Prior Authorization policy from the source URL (https://dctm.humana.com/Mentor/Web/v.aspx?objectID=090009298a56a5ee). Update billing software and prior authorization workflows to reflect any changes to authorization requirements, medical necessity criteria, or documentation requirements for HCPCS code J1626.

Notify providers in oncology and gastroenterology of any new documentation or authorization requirements. Failure to obtain required prior authorization will result in claim denials.
