Action needed
By January 3, 2022: Billing and clinical teams must update prior authorization workflows for all Pituitary Suppressive Agents/LHRH medications in Pennsylvania Medicaid patients. Ensure providers document new requirements for central precocious puberty (age ≤11 for females, ≤12 for males, pediatric endocrinologist consultation) and Myfembree prescriptions. Update prior auth request forms to include required clinical criteria. Claims will be denied without proper prior authorization.
