A Prior Authorization is an approval for a specific drug or class of drug that is excluded from your benefit plan, and does not allow coverage without a statement of medical necessity provided by the requesting physician. Please see your plan or talk with your benefits administrator about specific details, or call our Help Desk at 800-311-3446 for more information.
