Our decision-making process
Some medications on our formulary need prior authorization (PA) before they can be dispensed. First, you’ll request PA for a member’s medication. Then, we’ll review your request and make our decision based on nationally recognized prior authorization guidelines. We’ll also use our own custom guidelines.
