Some plans require authorization and others do not. The member's specific plan decides.
- This drug does not appear on any of this payer's Medicare Part D formularies. That means it is NOT COVERED under those plans — which is a different and generally worse outcome than requiring prior authorization. An exception or formulary-exception request may still be possible.
