Certain drugs require prior authorization

Prior Authorization

Certain drugs require prior authorization (PA) or a medical exception for coverage. If the drug requires this step, a member's doctor will need to request and receive approval from Humana before the drug may be covered by their insurance plan.

Please note the following regarding Medically-Accepted Indications

All reasonable efforts have been made to ensure consideration of medically accepted indications in this policy. Medically accepted indications are defined by CMS as those uses of a covered Part D drug that are approved under the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or the use of which is supported by one or more citations included or approved for inclusion in any of the compendia described in section 1927(g)(1)(B)(i) of the Act. These compendia guide review of off-label and off-evidence prescribing and are subject to minimum evidence standards for each compendium. Currently, this review includes the following references when applicable and may be subject to change per CMS:

  • American Hospital Formulary Service (AHFS) Compendium
  • Thomson Micromedex/DrugDex (not Drug Points) Compendium
  • National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Drugs and Biologics Compendium
