Prior Authorization

Prescription Drugs

Certain drugs require your doctor to get approval before they're covered. This process helps make sure you receive the right medicine in the right dose. It also helps keep you safe, which is very important if you're taking a specialty drug. These medicines are only approved for specific conditions and usually require keeping in close touch with your doctor. Prior authorization takes the extra step to watch specialty drugs.

To find out if a certain drug requires prior authorization, you can:

• Search online – Use Humana's Drug List Search
• Call us – Call the Humana Customer Service number on the back of your Humana member ID card.
