Summary
Connecticut Medicaid reminds providers that pharmacy prior authorization requests must originate from and be signed by the prescribing provider only. Pharmacies cannot submit pre-signed PA forms or perform PA activities on behalf of prescribers.
Action Required
Immediately: Prescribing providers must submit all pharmacy prior authorization requests directly and sign forms at time of submission. Stop allowing pharmacies to submit pre-signed PA forms or perform PA activities. Use the secure web portal at www.ctdssmap.com or refer to Provider Manual Chapter 9 section 9.6 for proper PA submission procedures.
