Coverage Determinations and Re-Determinations
A coverage determination is any determination (i.e. an approval or denial) made by Brand New Day regarding your Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage. Your requests for Part D coverage determination may include:
-
Asking whether a drug is covered for you and whether you satisfy any applicable coverage rules. (For example, when your drug is on the Plan’s List of Covered Drugs (Formulary) but requires our approval before it is covered.)
-
Asking us to pay for a prescription drug you already bought.
-
Asking us for an exception. (If a drug is not covered in the way you would like it to be covered, you can ask the Plan to make an “exception.”)
Examples include:
-
Asking for coverage of a drug that is not on the drug list
-
Asking to pay a lower cost-sharing amount for a covered non-preferred drug
-
Asking us to remove the extra rules and restrictions on the Plan’s coverage for a drug such as:
Exceptions
Important Information to Know About Asking for Exceptions
When you ask for an exception, your doctor or other prescriber will need to explain the medical reasons why you need the exception approved. Your doctor or other prescriber must give us a written statement that explains the medical reasons for requesting an exception. For a faster decision, include this medical information from your doctor or other prescriber when you ask for the exception.
