Medical exceptions for non-covered drugs
Expedited medical exceptions
In certain circumstances*, you or your prescriber can request a medical exception for a non-covered drug. To submit a request, call our Precertification Department at 1-855-582-2025, or fax a request to 1-855-330-1716. You also can mail a written request to Aetna PA, 1300 E. Campbell Rd., Richardson, TX 75081. We will make a coverage determination within 24 hours of receiving the request, and notify you or your prescriber of our decision.
*These circumstances exist when you are suffering from a health condition that may seriously jeopardize your life, health, or ability to regain maximum function, or undergoing a current course of treatment using a non-covered drug.
About your drug list
What is a formulary?
A formulary is a list of drugs covered under your plan, with details about the type of coverage. You may hear the word "formulary" during a doctor’s visit or when you pick up a prescription.
Does the main list include every covered drug?
Your pharmacy benefits plan includes thousands of drugs – too many to list. So your main drug list contains only the most commonly prescribed drugs.
