A coverage determination is HMSA’s initial decision about whether we’ll cover a prescription drug through your Essential, Optimal, and Metallic Prescription Formulary.
Your doctor can ask us to make a coverage determination about the drug(s) you need. If your health requires a quick response, your doctor can make an expedited coverage determination. After we receive your doctor’s statement, we’ll give you an answer within:
- 72 hours for a standard coverage determination.
- 24 hours for an expedited coverage determination.
