Prior Authorizations

Prior authorizations for medications are forced upon us by your prescription plans and tie up valuable resources. Often you will be required to try a less expensive, typically generic alternative before insurance plans will approve a prior authorization. Due to the time consuming process of prior authorizations and the large number of requests, we can not guarantee any time frames in this area, but typically it can take at least a week to process one. It is strongly encouraged that you follow the prescription plan's guidelines of alternative medications before we embark on this  lengthy process.
