Medication Step Therapy

Step Therapy requires the previous use of one or more drugs before coverage of a different drug is provided. If your health plan’s formulary guide reflects that Step Therapy is used for a specific drug, your physician must submit a prior authorization request form to the health plan for approval. If the request is not approved, please remember that you always have the option to purchase the medication at your own expense.

Prior Authorization

Prior authorization is required on some medications before your drug will be covered. If your health plan’s formulary guide indicates that you need a prior authorization for a specific drug, your physician must submit a prior authorization request form to the health plan for approval. If the request is not approved, please remember that you always have the option to purchase the medication at your own expense.

Quantity Limits

Quantity limits are  applied to certain drugs based on the approved dosing limits established during the FDA approval process. Quantity limits are applied to the number of units dispensed for each prescription. If your health plan’s formulary guide reflects that there is a quantity limit for a specific drug, your physician must submit a prior authorization request form to the health plan for approval. If the request is not approved, please remember that you always have the option to purchase the medication at your own expense.

Formulary Exception

Formulary exceptions are necessary for certain drugs that are eligible for coverage under your health plan’s drug benefit. Your physician must submit a formulary exception form to your health plan for approval. If the request is not approved by the health plan you may still purchase the medication at your own expense. The general form can be used if the drug you are requesting coverage for is not on the formulary list.
