Typically, a standard request must have a decision made within 72 hours (including weekends and holidays), unless we need additional information from your provider. You will be notified via phone and mail once a decision is made. In some instances, your provider may determine that coverage of a certain medication should be decided urgently. In these cases, a decision will be made within 24 hours (including weekends and holidays).
