Give Your Clients More Visibility Into Pharmacy Prior Authorizations

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:

  1. Log in to (or create) an online member account
  2. Under “Prescriptions” click on “Prescription Benefit Details”
  3. 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.
