Does UnitedHealthcare require prior authorization for Humulin R?

UnitedHealthcare does not require prior authorization for Humulin R on the Medicare Part D plans that cover it.

No covering plan from this payer files a prior-authorization requirement for this drug.

  • 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.
