- Ensure you are selecting the address, NPI number and NCPDP number specific to your region's location below.

- Confirm clinical information is included on electronic prior authorization.
- Prior authorization assistance may be provided by Optum Specialty Pharmacy or electronic prior authorization (ePA) submission through CoverMyMeds. Please note: Not all insurance plans accept ePA submissions.
- If patient is initiating therapy, please provide starter dose or maintenance dose as required. Please indicate if patient has already started therapy.
- If you prescribe controlled substances, ensure your practice’s EMR software is certified and approved for EPCS. Subject to limited exceptions, we will require ePrescribing (eRx) for all controlled substances starting 1/1/2020.
