The pharmacist told me that my prescription requires prior authorization (PA). What does that mean?
Insurance plans sometimes require additional information from your provider before they will cover certain medications. Our pharmacy staff will work with your insurance plan and your health care provider to complete any PA requirements. The PA process may take several days; you will be notified once your prescription has been approved or denied by your insurance company.
