1 Special Authorization Certain medications in the Reformulary require Special Authorization from your insurance company before your prescription is eligible for coverage. What is Special Authorization? Your drug plan provides you with immediate access to about 10,000 prescription drugs. Certain other medications require Special Authorization before your prescription is eligible for coverage. Will I need to pay for my prescription myself? If the Special Authorization is approved, you will pay the lowest amount (copay) available in your plan for your prescription. If the Special Authorization is not approved, you may need to pay the full price of the prescription yourself. How do I apply for Special Authorization? Your doctor needs to provide a well-documented medical reason why you need to take the Special Authorization drug. Here s how you apply: 1. Complete the Special Authorization (SA) form; you can download the Special Authorization form from your plan administrator s website. Both you and your doctor will need to complete the form. Have your doctor or pharmacist call or fax the Special Authorization (SA) form to your plan administrator. 2. Once your request has been processed, you will be notified and you will also receive a letter in the mail. You will need to have the Special Authorization request approved to pay the lowest amount (co-pay) in your plan. 3. If your plan administrator needs more information, they may contact your doctor directly. 4. If the request is approved, have your prescription filled. If the special authorization request is denied, you and your doctor will be notified. Clinical Conditions in the Reformulary Special Authorization Drugs December

2 What happens to my Special Authorization request once it is sent to my plan administrator? Your request will be confidentially reviewed by a qualified medical reviewer, according to specific criteria. You will receive written notification of the decision, typically within seven to fourteen working days. In cases where a doctor requires an urgent response due to the medical condition, every effort will be made to respond promptly. If your request is approved, the approval will indicate the specified period of time. You will likely need to re-apply for Special Authorization after that specified time period. What if I am already taking a Special Authorization drug? If you are already taking a Special Authorization drug when your new drug plan launches, your drug will be grandfathered. This means that you may continue taking this drug at the lowest amount (co-pay). Please refer to Clinical Conditions in the Reformulary Grandfathered Drugs for more information. Any statement suggesting that you consider a particular drug, indicating that any drug is a preferred drug, or describing the effectiveness of a drug is not intended to be a substitute for your physician's advice, diagnosis or treatment, and should not be used to replace a health care professional, for diagnosis or for treatment.
