Prior Authorization for Your Patient’s Medications

Are you struggling with Prior Authorizations (PAs) for your patient’s medications? The MO HealthNet Division (MHD) Pharmacy Program wants to make the PA process simple and quick for providers and patients.

The MHD Pharmacy Program has created an educational tutorial to guide your office staff through the process of completing a PA. This resource includes the following:

  • How to determine if a medication needs a PA
  • Links to all the PA forms, Preferred Drug Lists and Clinical Edits
  • Details on what should be submitted for specific requests

Please take the time to familiarize yourself, your office staff and others involved in the PA process with the Pharmacy Prior Authorization Process tutorial. For questions, please contact MHD.PharmacyAdmin@dss.mo.gov.
