Responsible Steps Program
The Responsible Steps Program requires the previous use of one or more drugs before coverage of a different drug is provided. If your health plan’s formulary guide reflects that the Responsible Steps Program is used for a specific drug, your physician must submit a prior authorization request form to the health plan for approval. If the request is not approved, please remember that you always have the option to purchase the medication at your own expense.

Prior Authorization
Prior authorization is required on some medications before your drug will be covered. If your health plan’s formulary guide indicates that you need a prior authorization for a specific drug, your physician must submit a prior authorization request form to the health plan for approval. If the request is not approved, please remember that you always have the option to purchase the medication at your own expense.
Quantity Limits
Quantity limits are applied to certain drugs based on the approved dosing limits established during the FDA approval process. Quantity limits are applied to the number of units dispensed for each prescription. If your health plan’s formulary guide reflects that there is a quantity limit for a specific drug, your physician must submit a prior authorization request form to the health plan for approval. If the request is not approved, please remember that you always have the option to purchase the medication at your own expense.
