Step Therapy Medications

Step therapy is a limitation that requires you to try preferred medications before the plan will pay for another medication for the same medical condition that the doctor may have originally prescribed. An automated, electronic review of your medication history is performed to determine whether other medications have been tried first for your condition. This ensures clinically sound and cost-effective treatment options are tried. If a prescribed medication does not meet the step therapy criteria, it may not be covered. You should consult with your doctor about alternative therapy. If a medication does not meet the step therapy criteria for automatic approval, it will reject at the pharmacy; your provider may request prior authorization.
