Does Medica Health Plans require prior authorization for Exxua?
Medica Health Plans does not require prior authorization for Exxua on the Medicare Part D plans that cover it.
No covering plan from this payer files a prior-authorization requirement for this drug.
- No prior authorization is filed, but step therapy applies on 17 of 17 covering plans — the plan requires another drug be tried first.
- 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.
