1 Flexeril/Amrix (Cyclobenzaprine) Clinical Edit Criteria Drug/Drug Class: Flexeril/Amrix (Cyclobenzaprine) Superior HealthPlan follows the guidance of the Texas Vendor Drug Program (VDP) for all clinical edit criteria. Superior has adjusted the clinical criteria to ease the prior authorization process regarding this clinical edit. The hyperthyroidism, cardiac condition and heart failure lookback period was shortened from 730 to 365 days. Syncope diagnosis as a basis for denial was removed. Using yellow borders and highlights, Superior has marked the ease in the edit step within the clinical edit criteria diagram and in the diagnosis code tables. The original clinical edit can be referenced at the Texas Vendor Drug Program website located at Clinical Edit Information Included in this Document: Drugs included in the edit: a list of medications included in this clinical edit logic. Logic diagram: a visual depiction of the clinical edit criteria logic. Diagnosis codes or drugs in step logic: a list of diagnosis codes or drug information and additional step logic, claims and lookback period information. Clinical Edit References: clinical edit references as provided by the Texas Vendor Drug Program. Publication history: to track when the eased criteria was put into production and any updates since this time. Please note: All tables are provided by original Texas Vendor Drug Program Flexeril/Amrix (Cylcobenzaprine) Edit. Eased criteria outlined or highlighted in yellow.
