CIGNA Prior Prescription (Rx) Authorization Form
Loading...The CIGNA Prior Authorization Form is a simple, one-page document that allows healthcare providers to request coverage for atypical medication or those that would require coverage determination. The prescriber’s rationale for seeking prior authorization for the non-formulary request must be provided in order to justify their decision. Often forms of this nature are most effective when the alternative, formulary medication that was administered to the patient was ineffective or cause adverse effects.
