If a doctor prescribes a medication that needs approval before it can be filled, also known as a prior authorization, there’s a way for members to easily check the status of that request with our new tool.
This online tool lets members check the status at any time — without having to make a phone call. They can see:
- When the request was received
- Where it is in the review process
- When a decision is expected
They can also view past approvals, along with expired or expiring authorizations.
To access our Prior Authorizations tool:
- Log in to (or create) an online member account
- Under “Prescriptions” click on “Prescription Benefit Details”
- Click on the “Prior Authorizations” link under the Prescriptions tab
We hope this new tool will help your clients feel more informed and confident about their care.
