What is New?
Effective April 1, 2022, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX) was advised that the Vendor Drug Program (VDP) will remove Dupixent for procedure codes J3490 and J3590 from the National Drug Code (NDC) to the Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) Crosswalk. Dupixent is currently covered under Pharmacy benefit; therefore, it should not affect patient’s ongoing therapy.
You are being notified by BCBSTX because you have encounters submitted for Dupixent under the medical benefits.
