Future Scripts Prior Prescription (Rx) Authorization Form
Loading...The Future Scripts General Prior Authorization Request Form is a document that can be faxed into Future Scripts to request coverage for a medication which is generally not on the company’s formulary. The prescriber will need to provide justification for selecting the medication in question to treat the patient’s symptoms.
