Whether or not your insurance will cover your medications depends on your specific plan and the medications prescribed to you. When a prescription is sent to a pharmacy, the pharmacist will bill your insurance company for the cost of the medication and receive an approval or denial. Insurance plans may require prior authorization before they will cover certain medications, which means that your healthcare provider will need to provide additional information to your insurance company to demonstrate that the medication is medically necessary.
Your care team will help you through the prior authorization process and, if necessary, can provide an alternative care plan.
