Common Mistakes to Avoid
Missing the member ID or plan name? Always verify the patient's exact plan name before submitting. A mismatch causes the request to be returned unprocessed.
Incomplete clinical rationale? Requests are often denied when the medical rationale section is left short or vague. Include the diagnosis code, prior medications tried, and the reason the requested medication is medically necessary.
Wrong fax number? Each plan listed on the form has a different fax number. Using the wrong one delays processing by several days.
