Prior authorization requirements |
|
BWC constantly strives to control costs for employers while also providing the highest quality of care for injured workers. The bureau works with all stakeholders, including medical professionals, toward achieving this goal. BWC and its Pharmacy and Therapeutic Committee designed an outpatient medication prior authorization (PA) programs to ensure injured workers:
Program details Injured workers who want to continue receiving these medications must ask their physicians to complete the MEDCO-31 and fax it to OptumRx. The fax number is on the form. An independent physician will review each case. Then, BWC will let the injured worker know if his or her request for prior authorization is approved.
