Actimmune (interferon gamma‑1b) is covered only for the two FDA‑approved indications—reducing serious infections in chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) and delaying progression of severe malignant osteopetrosis—and non‑FDA uses are excluded; approval is for 12 months with subcutaneous dosing three times weekly per BSA/weight limits. Coverage requires diagnostic documentation (CGD: molecular genetic test; osteopetrosis: radiographic evidence or molecular genetic test), prescription by or consultation with an immunologist (CGD) or endocrinologist (osteopetrosis), and meeting applicable safety and dosing documentation criteria.
