your doctor must contact us to get approval before prescribing the drug to you. If your doctor
does not get prior approval, the drug may not be covered.
This list also includes drugs that may be covered under Medicare Part B or Part D depending on
how the drugs are used or administered. If your drug is on this list, your doctor should call us and
to provide information describing the use and administration of the drug so we can advise on
whether the drug will be covered.
To see if your drug is on the list, refer to the index located at the end of this document for the
