How to initiate a Digital Prior Authorization

Once a patient is enrolled in a Patient Support Program, you can begin the Prior Authorization process to submit the required forms to the payer.

Prior Authorization is the process of collecting information from the physician and patient and completing a form to be submitted to the payer (insurance providers), to determine if they will cover the cost of the medication.  

Auxita has both private and public Prior Authorization forms available.  

NOTE Each form’s workflow is determined by the configuration set by the program's preferences, this is reflected and seen on the reimbursement status tile. 

From the Program’s Section
