Anthem Revised Rules Regarding Lipitor

 Anthem Blue Cross of California has recently announced that all members with prescriptions for Lipitor will need to have their prescriptions pre-authorized effective April 1, 2012 

This change is due to the addition of atorvastatin, a new generic for the brand name Lipitor, on their covered drug list.

This change impacts all of the commercial and individual business in California and New York. Medicare Part D and state-sponsored business are not impacted.
