Starting on April 1, 2024, the Advanced Control Plan – Aetna formulary will no longer include Humira (adalimumab). Instead, members will have coverage for a selection of biosimilar adalimumab products. These products are lower cost than Humira.
This change impacts all Small Group Aetna Funding AdvantageSM and Aetna® Fully Insured 51-100 plans, which all use the Advanced Control Plan – Aetna formulary.
Members’ prior authorizations will automatically transfer to an available biosimilar product for any claims after April 1st, 2024. A new prescription for the biosimilar will be needed, but many pharmacies, including CVS Specialty® Pharmacy, will contact the provider to handle the change on the member’s behalf.
Aetna will notify impacted plan sponsors of this change in February, using this letter.
