Prior Authorization List

The physicians and pharmacists who serve on the Pharmacy & Therapeutics (P&T) Committee are responsible for reviewing all new medications as they come to market. With each agent, they consider whether a medication should be covered under the prescription benefit. In addition, they may recommend quantity limits and prior authorization to ensure appropriate use.

When making a recommendation, the P&T Committee focuses on the medication's overall health benefit as well as the cost. The P&T Committee will consider FDA recommendations, manufacturer package labeling instructions, and published clinical recommendations, such as the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). The P&T has elected to prior authorize the following products:
