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 which 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:
- AHFS (American Hospital Formulary Service) Compendium
- Thompson Micromedex/DrugDex (not Drug Points) Compendium
- NCCN Drugs and Biologics Compendium
- Elsevier Gold Standard's Clinical Pharmacology Compendium
