AmeriHealth Administrators prescription drug plans are administered by an independent pharmacy benefits management company. Before prescribing a medication, providers should work with the plan member to determine if the drug is included on the formulary.
Members who have prescription drug coverage through AmeriHealth Administrators are covered under one of several formulary-based prescription drug benefit programs. These programs are designed to provide physicians with a range of prescribing options while maintaining cost-effectiveness for AmeriHealth Administrators members.
The Premium Formulary differs from the standard drug formulary in that it excludes 80 medications, which all have clinical alternatives included in the Premium Formulary. The Premium Formulary is managed and maintained by our pharmacy benefits manager.
*Some specialty medications, such as infusion drugs or drugs administered by the physician in the office, may be covered by the plan member’s medical benefits plan and may require precertification.
Prior authorization is required for certain prescribed formulary drugs in order for such drugs to be covered. A request form must be completed for all medications that require prior authorization.
To simplify your experience with prior authorization and save time, please submit your prior authorization request to the pharmacy benefits manager through any of the following online portals:
