Provider-Administered Drugs

Prior Authorization Requirements

Physician services providers are required to obtain PA for provider-administered drugs in Appendix 15 of this section and for provider-administered drugs that are not provided with one of the allowable diagnosis codes listed in Appendix 32. Providers are required to use the Prior Authorization/“J” Code Attachment (PA/JCA), HCF 11034 (fillable PDF, 84 KB), along with the Prior Authorization Request Form (PA/RF), HCF 11018, to request PA.

Providers are required to include with the PA request peer-reviewed medical literature from scientific medical or pharmaceutical publications in which original manuscripts are rejected or published only after having been reviewed by unbiased independent experts. Only the diagnosis codes listed in Appendix 32 of this section are reimbursable without PA.
