Ancillary Medication Coverage

Meaning

Ancillary Medication Coverage refers to the specific inclusion within a health plan’s benefits for pharmaceutical agents that are secondary or supportive to a primary treatment protocol. This coverage is essential for non-core medications, often those used to manage side effects or optimize the clinical outcomes of a primary therapy, such as Testosterone Replacement Therapy. The term clearly delineates between the main therapeutic agent and the necessary adjuncts required for comprehensive endocrine management. Access to these supporting medications is crucial for maintaining a balanced physiological state during hormonal interventions.
