Medications that need prior authorization are those which are not on your insurance's formulary but may be covered if your doctor sends documentation to your insurance company that it is medically necessary. There is no list of "prior authorization medications" that is applicable to everyone. It is specific to your insurance plan (not just company....there are many different plans; it depends on what you or your employer picked). You can find out what medications require prior authorization by contacting your insurance company or logging onto your account on their website.
