*NOTE: If you are asking for a formulary or tiering exception, your prescriber MUST
provide a statement supporting your request. Requests that are subject to prior
authorization (or any other utilization management requirement), may require supporting
information. Your prescriber may use the attached "Supporting Information for an
Exception Request or Prior Authorization" to support your request.
Additional information we should consider (attach any supporting documents):
Important Note: Expedited Decisions
If you or your prescriber believe that waiting 72 hours for a standard decision
could seriously harm your life, health, or ability to regain maximum function, you
can ask for an expedited (fast) decision. If your prescriber indicates that waiting
72 hours could seriously harm your health, we will automatically give you a decision
within 24 hours. If you do not obtain your prescriber's support for an expedited
request, we will decide if your case requires a fast decision. You cannot request
an expedited coverage determination if you are asking us to pay you back for a drug
you already received.
Supporting Information for an Exception Request or Prior Authorization
FORMULARY and TIERING EXCEPTION requests cannot be processed without a prescriber’s
supporting statement. PRIOR AUTHORIZATION requests may require supporting information.
