CDPHP Prior Prescription (Rx) Authorization Form
Loading...The CDPHP Prior Authorization/Medical Exception Request Form is like any other prior authorization form; it’s used to request coverage for a medication that isn’t normally on the insurance company’s formulary. Typically it is necessary that other treatments have been administered, especially those which are more cost effective. If sufficient justification for prescribing the requested medication can be found, CDPHP will cover part or all of the treatment requested by the member’s physician.
