United Healthcare Prior Prescription (Rx) Authorization Form
Loading...The United Healthcare Medication Prior Authorization Request Form allows a patient and United Healthcare beneficiary to request coverage for a medication that requires authorization, one that is generally not on the formulary. The prescriber/healthcare professional prescribing the drug will be required to justify their choice of the non-preferred medication in paragraph format on the document. If all sections are complete in full and the reasoning behind requesting the specialized drug is sound, United Healthcare will cover all or part of the price of the treatment.
