GIC-TIER-RX-LIST-06/15 ±Prior Authorization: To promote safety and affordability for everyone, Tufts Health Plan requires prior authorization for certain drugs. This helps us work with physicians to see that medications are prescribed appropriately. Our Pharmacy & Therapeutics Committee reviews all prior authorization criteria annually and as new information becomes available. If your drug requires prior authorization, contact the provider who has written your prescription. If your provider believes a drug with a PA is necessary for your treatment, he or she may submit a request for coverage by faxing a Universal Pharmacy Medical Review Request Form--available at tuftshealthplan.com/providers-—to Tufts Health Plan. We will cover the medication if it meets our medical necessity coverage guidelines. If the request is approved, you will be covered for your prescription. If it is not approved, you can appeal the decision.

*Step Therapy Prior Authorization: Step therapy promotes the use of the most therapeutically appropriate and cost-effective drugs first, before other drugs may be covered. If you have not previously taken the steps required by our pharmacy coverage guidelines, and your provider believes the drug prescribed for you is medically necessary, he or she may request coverage by submitting a Universal Pharmacy Medical Review Request Form.
