medication covered under a medical necessity waiver or other procedure, as state law allows.
Payment coverage determinations shall not delay timely availability of medications unless the prescriber authorizes the medication to start when it becomes available.
Procedures: A.
When non-covered medications are ordered, the provider pharmacy or licensed nurse consults with the resident's physician to seek a change to a covered item. B. If the physician elects not to change the order, and if appropriate, the physician is asked to document medical necessity according to the process set forth by the third-party payer.
The pharmacist then attempts to obtain coverage following third-party payer procedures. C. If coverage is not available and third-party rules permit, the pharmacy bills the resident or responsible party, or the facility, as allowed by state law and per the facility's pharmacy provider agreement.
