Aetna June 2015 Newsletter: Reinforcing Current policy that compounded medicines made with bulk ingredients aren't covered products

Compound medicines made with bulk ingredients aren’t covered We’re reinforcing our current clinical policy bulletin (CPB) on bulk ingredient containing compounds. The CPB states that we won’t cover compounds made with bulk ingredients. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration hasn’t approved bulk ingredients. This is because they’re seen as pharmaceutical aids. If you have patients using a compounded product made with bulk ingredients, we ask that you work with them to find another option.
