Filling your prescription

Four tips to help get your prescription filled

After your doctor prescribes PRALUENT, your health plan (insurance) may require your doctor to submit a prior authorization (PA) form. If a PA is required, here are a few tips to guide you throughout the process:

Tip 1

Gather your information

Before you start the process, make sure you know:

  • Your health insurance information (insurance plan, member ID, group number)
  • Your pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) information (eg, CVS Caremark, Express Scripts, OptumRx)
  • Your prescription information

Use this checklist to help you keep track of your current medication, medical history, insurance information, and more. Download now.

Tip 2

Plan with your doctor

When you give your doctor or pharmacy the requested medical information, your doctor will complete and submit a PA form to your health plan for approval. Please note it may take several days for approval and to receive PRALUENT.

If you or your doctor receives a denial from your insurance company, you can:

  • Discuss with your doctor why the request was denied and ask if you have the ability to appeal the decision. Your doctor can submit a letter of appeal to your health plan to seek approval
  • Call your health plan directly and discuss your situation

Tip 3

Know your rights

Some states have laws called “step therapy override legislation” that may help certain people get access to specialty medications like PRALUENT. Not sure about the drug coverage in your state? You can find your state’s National Association of Insurance Commissioners contact information here.

Tip 4

Get your medication

If your PRALUENT prescription has been approved, it will either be delivered to your home or sent to your local pharmacy.

  • Depending on your prescription coverage, you and your doctor may have to repeat the steps above once a year to make sure that your insurance continues to cover your prescription
  • If you change your health insurance plan, please let your doctor know. You will have to complete the steps above again to make sure that your new insurance covers PRALUENT
