Clinical guidelines for Step Therapy
I take specialty medications and I was trying to find the clinical guidelines so I can determine if I should switch health plans to my new employers, instead of my parents plan.
I want to go onto a specific drug, but since insurance requires you to try others first it gets very complicated very fast.
I have UHC, with CVS as my PBM, but inside of that I have an additional PBM just for specialty called National Cooperative RX.
When I call them they say they will not tell me since the clinical guidelines are proprietary.
I'm not sure if I'm asking the right person, or if there is a different way to go about this. The clinical guidelines are not listed in my formulary and CVS does not have access to them.
