Prior Authorization, Step Therapy, and Quantity Limits
Prior Authorizations
For drugs that require prior authorization, your doctor must complete the necessary form(s) below and include any clinical information and supporting documentation with the form(s). All forms require a physician's signature. Forms submitted without a physician's signature cannot be accepted. The prior authorization forms can be found using the link below.
Coverage Determinations
Under the Medicare Part D prescription drug benefit program, a beneficiary can request a coverage determination regarding the drug benefits they are entitled to receive. When Coventry makes a coverage determination, we are making a decision whether or not to provide or pay for a Part D drug and what the beneficiary's share of the cost is for the drug. A beneficiary enrolled in a Part D plan may also request a cost-share tiering or formulary exception. A request can also be made on behalf of the beneficiary by the beneficiary's appointed representative or the beneficiary's prescribing physician.
You may contact us if you would like to request a coverage determination by completing the appropriate form listed below. The timeframe for a coverage determination is dependent upon the medical situation surrounding the request. A request for an expedited coverage determination can be made orally by calling a Customer Service Representative, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Appointment of Representative Form
- You, your prescribing physician, or someone you name may communicate with us on your behalf to request an initial determination or file a grievance or appeal. The person you name would be your “appointed representative.” You may name a relative, friend, advocate, doctor, or anyone else to act for you. Other persons may already be authorized under State law to act for you. If you want someone to act for you who is not already authorized under State law, then you and that person must sign and date a statement that gives the person legal permission to be your appointed representative. Please contact your plan for more information.
