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).

Nurse Advice Line
What kind of care do you need? Not every medical issue needs emergency care. If you have a medical issue that doesn’t seem to be life-threatening, but you’re not sure what to do, you can call our Nurse Advice Line for help. They can help you decide if you should see a primary or urgent care doctor. The Nurse Advice Line is free and available 24/7 for members at 1-866-418-2920 (TTY Relay: 7-1-1).
