Aetna denosumab policy changed — and the monitor caught it.
Aetna revised CPB 0804 on August 21. MedicineCostHelp flagged the change for human review; the denosumab guidance was then updated to reflect Ponlimsi's addition to the Prolia biosimilar pathway and Aetna's new site-of-care language. Public guidance was not rewritten automatically.

Lytenava
FDA-approved July 24, 2026 for neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration. We added a new-to-market coverage guide that does not pretend payer preference or permanent coding has already caught up.

Immgolis Intri
The first FDA-approved interchangeable IV biosimilar to Simponi Aria. Its current FDA indication is narrower than the reference product, so our engine now supports product-specific indication filtering.

Pluvicto
Added the July 31 FDA expansion into PSMA-positive metastatic androgen pathway modulation-naïve/sensitive prostate cancer in combination with ARPI therapy.
Pluvicto coverage guide →LABEL UPDATE
