Prior Authorization & Tier Waiver Requests:
- If your insurance requires a prior authorization (a “PA”) Dr. Chiritescu will typically find an alternative medication for you.
- If you prefer to have us complete the PA, we charge a nominal fee for the additional time needed to complete the paperwork and all the time spent dealing with insurance.
- There is also a nominal fee for the additional time needed to complete paperwork and deal with insurance if you would like us to complete a ‘tier waiver.’
- *We cannot guarantee that if we complete the prior authorization the medication will be covered by insurance, because unfortunately pre-authorizations are a tactic used by insurance companies to lower their costs, and each insurance policy has its own prescription plan and coverage.*
- If a pre-auth is denied by insurance, a patient may still pay for the medication as cash-pay without going through insurance (try goodrx.com for coupons and call the pharmacy and transfer the prescription to where most affordable).
- Pre-Authorization (“PA”): $25
- Pre-Authorization #2 (if 1st pre-auth denied) or Tier Waiver: $50
- Other Paperwork (cancer policy forms, etc): $25
Please note that prices above are subject to change at any time without notice.
