Policy fragment summary

This administrative fragment lists numerous drugs and maps each to the electronic prior-authorization submission platform to be used (primarily CoverMyMeds or Availity), and highlights preferred biosimilars and insulin products that do not require prior authorization. It conveys examples of preferred substitutions (e.g., Procrit/Retacrit preferred over Aranesp/Epogen; Nivestym/Zarxio preferred over Neupogen/Granix; Norditropin, Genotropin, Omnitrope preferred within growth-hormone class), and names insulin agents that are preferred and do not require prior authorization (examples include Fiasp, Humalog, Humalog Mix, Humulin 70/30, Humulin N, Humulin R, Lyumjev, Novolin 70/30, Novolin N, Novolin R, Novolog, Novolog 70/30). The operational purpose is administrative routing (directing providers which portal to use for PA requests) and to provide formulary preferred-agent guidance. Current policy status is CURRENT and providers are instructed to use the designated channel per drug (CoverMyMeds or Availity) per the listing.

Definitions

Definitions / Key Terms

CoverMyMedsAn electronic prior authorization submission platform referenced throughout the drug listing.

AvailityAn electronic portal referenced as the routing destination for many provider-administered or buy-and-bill prior authorization requests.

CoverMyMeds / Availity (consolidated)When both platforms are mentioned, follow the drug-specific routing note; some products explicitly require sending PAs to Availity for provider-administered drugs or for non‑fertility diagnoses.

Preferred-agent guidanceEntries note preferred alternatives (e.g., Procrit/Retacrit over Aranesp/Epogen; Nivestym/Zarxio over Neupogen/Granix; Norditropin/Genotropin/Omnitrope in growth‑hormone class).

This fragment is strictly an administrative routing and reference list that indicates the submission channel for prior authorization requests and notes preferred agents; it does not provide clinical coverage criteria or decision trees. There are no criteria_trees included in this segment; clinical necessity and coverage determinations are handled by the program’s medical-necessity criteria referenced elsewhere.
