Important Note: Expedited Decisions
If you or your prescriber believe that waiting 7 days for a standard decision could seriously harm your
life, health, or ability to regain maximum function, you can ask for an expedited (fast) decision. If your
prescriber indicates that waiting 7 days could seriously harm your health, we will automatically give
you a decision within 72 hours. If you do not obtain your prescriber's support for an expedited appeal,
we will decide if your case requires a fast decision. You cannot request an expedited appeal if you are
asking us to pay you back for a drug you already received.
☐ CHECK THIS BOX IF YOU BELIEVE YOU NEED A DECISION WITHIN 72 HOURS. (if you
have a supporting statement from your prescriber, attach it to this request).
Please explain your reasons for appealing. Attach additional pages, if necessary. Attach any
additional information you believe may help your case, such as a statement from your prescriber and
relevant medical records. You may want to refer to the explanation we provided in the Notice of
Denial of Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage and have your prescriber address the Plan’s
coverage criteria, if available, as stated in the Plan’s denial letter or in other Plan documents. Input
from your prescriber will be needed to explain why you cannot meet the Plan’s coverage criteria
and/or why the drugs required by the Plan are not medically appropriate for you.
