Some of these exceptions were going to be in place until December 31, 2020. However, we understand it may take plan members some time to get an appointment with a health-care provider. So, we’re extending these exceptions to March 31, 2021.
These include:
- Paying claims that would normally require additional documentation, signatures, referrals or laboratory information. This applies if we already have these on file and they have expired.
- Prescriptions, nurse practitioner or doctor referral for paramedical services
- Drug exception forms, which includes prior authorization and special authorization
- Provincial specialty drug program responses or documentation
We’ve created this flyer for you to share with plan members.
