Coverage and prior authorization
Plans often require step therapy for inhalers and change their preferred brands from year to year, so an inhaler that was covered last year may be rejected now. When that happens, we tell you and your prescriber which alternatives the plan prefers, or what it needs for an exception, and follow it through for you. Respiratory biologics need a prior authorization, usually with lab results and treatment history.
Questions
My inhaler was covered last year. Why is it rejected now?
Plans update their formularies, often at the start of the year. We’ll check which inhalers your plan now prefers and send that information to your prescriber, who decides whether to switch or request an exception.
Do I need a spacer?
Spacers help many people who use metered-dose inhalers. Ask your prescriber. If they prescribe one, we can fill it and show you how to use it.
