To receive coverage for a medication requiring prior authorization, you can: Ask your healthcare provider to submit the request. Your healthcare provider can submit the request online, by fax or phone by accessing our providers prior authorization information. Submit your own prior authorization request.
The healthcare provider is usually responsible for initiating prior authorization by submitting a request form to a patients insurance provider. As mentioned in the How does prior authorization work? section above, this will then often prompt a time-consuming back and forth between the provider and payer.
Many prior authorization requests are processed in 1 to 3 business days, especially for standard medications with properly completed paperwork. Some insurance companies may take up to 5 to 7 days as part of their normal process.
A denied prior auth request can occur when a providers office submits a wrong billing code, misspells a name or makes another clerical error. Requests can also be denied if the prior auth request lacks sufficient information about why the medication or treatment is needed.
Almost half (47%) of those who were required to get a prior authorization in the past two years say it was somewhat difficult (34%) or very difficult (13%) to navigate the process of getting prior approval for a health care service, treatment, or needed medication.
