Prior authorization for provider-administered drugs

Request a PA for a provider-administered drug (medical benefit)

Check the HCPCS tool and our medical drug policies to see if a prior authorization is required for a pharmacy drug.

  • Please note, the HCPCS tool is not a comprehensive list of all drug codes. If a drug code is not on the HCPCS tool, no authorization is required for the drug itself when provider-administered (other benefit coverage rules may apply).

If prior authorization is required, select the member’s plan below for more information on how to submit a prior authorization.

Select medications are Medical Benefit Only (MBO), meaning the drug is available through a health care professional who administers the drug or in an outpatient setting.

  • Check the MassHealth Drug List or the MassHealth ACO/MCO Drugs Restricted to the Medical Benefit list to see if the medication is MBO.
