Pharmacy prior authorization (PA)

You’ll want to ask for pharmacy PA when a medication isn’t on our preferred drug list (PDL). You’ll also need pharmacy PA if the medication has a utilization requirement. The Oklahoma Health Care Authority develops the PA criteria, as the Oklahoma Health Care Authority Drug Utilization Review (DUR) Board recommends.
