Check the HCPCS tool to see if a prior authorization is required for a medical drug.

  • Please note, the HCPCS tool is not a comprehensive list of all drug codes. If a drug code is not on the HCPCS tool, no authorization is required for the drug itself when provider-administered (other benefit coverage rules may apply).
