1 Step Therapy Medications Step Therapy (ST PA ) is an automated form of prior authorization. It encourages the use of therapies that should be tried first, before other treatments are covered, based on clinical practice guidelines and cost-effectiveness. Medications on Step 1 the lowest step are usually covered without authorization. We have noted the few exceptions, which may require your provider to submit a request to Tufts Health Plan for coverage. Medications on Step 2 or higher are automatically authorized at the point-of-sale if you have taken the required prerequisite drugs. However, if your provider prescribes a medication on a higher step, and you have not yet taken the required medication(s) on a lower step, or if you are a new Tufts Health Plan member and do not have any prescription drug claims history, we will consider coverage of the medication only if your provider submits a request for coverage to Tufts Health Plan.
