These requirements and limits may include prior authorization, quantity limits, age limits or step therapy. Additionally, if a medication is available

generic exists, a prior authorization request will need to be submitted. If you have any questions about coverage of a certain product, please
contact us at 1-800-454-3730. In order to request prior authorization, the provider or member must contact our pharmacy department
