Prior Authorization Assistance

When an insurance plan requires a "prior authorization" before covering a prescription, it can lead to delays and frustration. At Iuka Discount Drug Pharmacy, we see it as our job to help manage this process for you. Our experienced team can navigate the paperwork and phone calls, so you can focus on your health.

How We Help with Prior Authorizations

Doctor & Insurer Communication: Our team works directly with your doctor's office and your insurance company, acting as the bridge to get the required information submitted.
Paperwork Management: We handle the submission of necessary clinical documentation to your insurance provider to justify the need for your prescribed medication.
Persistent Follow-Up: We take on the responsibility of following up on the status of the authorization, saving you the time and stress of waiting on hold.
Exploring Alternatives: If an authorization is denied, we will contact your prescriber to discuss clinically appropriate, affordable alternatives that your plan may cover.
