Effective August 1, 2021 - PROVIDER COPY THIS LIST APPLIES TO ALL MEDICARE MEMBERS Certain drugs require prior authorization in order to be covered under your health plan. Prior authorization review is the process of determining the medical necessity of a proposed procedure, surgery or treatment (including prescribed drug intervention) relative to approved criteria. Prior authorization is required to ensure that the drug is medically necessary and you will receive the benefits to which you are entitled. Requests for prior authorization must be received before the services or drugs are provided/ administered. Failure of a network provider to contact SummaCare for required authorization of items covered under your benefit plan will relieve the health plan and you from any financial responsibility for the service if those services are rendered before notifying the plan. NOTE: Network providers are responsible for obtaining authorization at least 48 hours before administering these prescription drugs. If the provider is not in the plan network, it is the member’s responsibility to verify that prior authorization has been obtained. How to request prior authorization for drugs covered under the medical benefit: • Fax submission of requests for prior authorization should be used for non-urgent requests. • Routine requests: Fax 234-231-7082 • Urgent requests: Call 330-996-8710 or 888-996-8710 • Oncology requests: For all drugs marked with “*” Call 855-774-1315 SummaCare provides coverage under the medical benefit for many drugs that are administered in an office, home or outpatient setting.
