Medicare Prior Prescription (Rx) Authorization Form
Loading...The Medicare Prior Prescription Authorization Form or Medicare Part D Coverage Determination Request Form is used to request financing for a non-preferred medication by the insurance company in question. Some Medicare plans have their own specific document which they prefer to use; however, the below universal form can be sent to all Medicare providers. Once completed with all the patient’s and physician’s information, along with the rationale for prescribing a medication which is not on the formulary, the form can be faxed to the patient’s Medicare plan’s office for review.
