Pharmacy Policy Bulletin Title: New Jersey Prior Authorization Requirements for Select Drugs Policy #: Rx.01.239 Application of pharmacy policy is determined by benefits and contracts. Benefits may vary based on product line, group, or contract. Some medications may be subject to precertification, age, quantity, or formulary restrictions (ie limits on non- preferred drugs). Individual member benefits must be verified. This pharmacy policy document describes the status of pharmaceutical information and/or technology at the time the document was developed. Since that time, new information relating to drug efficacy, interactions, contraindications, dosage, administration routes, safety, or FDA approval may have changed. This Pharmacy Policy will be regularly updated as scientific and medical literature becomes available. This information may include new FDA-approved indications, withdrawals, or other FDA alerts. This type of information is relevant not only when considering whether this policy should be updated, but also when applying it to current requests for coverage. Members are advised to use participating pharmacies in order to receive the highest level of benefits. Intent: The intent of this policy is to communicate the medical necessity criteria for selected drugs with generic and/or therapeutic alternatives as provided under the member's prescription drug benefit. Description: The Prior Authorization Requirements for Select Drugs is designed to expedite and automate access to certain medications that require prior authorization (PA) by using information available in the member's prescription drug benefit claim history. If the prerequisite drug(s) is (are) in the claim history, the requested medication will be available at the point of sale without having their prescriber submit a PA request. If there is no history of the prerequisite drug(s) in a member's claim history, a PA request will be required per the standard process. Definitions: A. Target: the medication to which the prior authorization is applied B. Prerequisite: the alternative medication(s) that must be used prior to approving the target medication Policy: A medication with an alternative or alternatives will be approved when ALL of the following are met: 1.
