Does Cigna require prior authorization for Mounjaro?

Prior authorization for Mounjaro differs across Cigna's Medicare Part D plans and product strengths — 4 of 6 Mounjaro products in the corpus appear on their formularies, and the requirement is not uniform. Check the member's specific plan.

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.
