To help us better process your request, please include your full name, date of birth, address, contract number, and a brief description of your request.
When you'll hear from us
Unless there are medical reasons for us to respond more quickly, we’ll generally make a decision within 72 hours of your request for a coverage determination or exception.
Expedited decisions
If your request to expedite is granted, after we get a supporting statement from your doctor or other prescriber we must give you a decision within 24 hours for Part D prescription drug and/or Part B medical drug coverage decisions.
If our coverage decision is in your favor
We must authorize the drug we agreed to provide. For prescription drug exceptions our approval is good for the remainder of the calendar year.
Filing an appeal if you are not happy with our decision
If you aren't satisfied with the coverage decision we make, you or your prescriber can ask us to reconsider. This is called "filing an appeal." Learn how.
