My drug plan charged me a higher copay for a drug than it should have.
My drug plan charges a higher copay for the drug my doctor prescribed than it charges for another drug that treats my condition, and I want to pay the lower copay (tiering exception).*
I have been using a drug that was previously included on a lower copay tier, but is being moved to or was moved to a higher copay tier (tiering exception).*
I want to be reimbursed for a covered prescription drug that I paid for out of pocket.

If you or your prescribing doctor believe that waiting for 72 hours for a standard decision could seriously harm your life, health or ability to regain maximum function, you can ask for an expedited (fast) decision. If your prescribing doctor indicates that waiting 72 hours could seriously harm your life or health, we will give you a decision within 24 hours. If you do not obtain your prescribing doctor's support for an expedited request, we will decide if your case requires a fast decision. You cannot request an expedited coverage determination if you are asking us to pay you back for a drug you already received.

CHECK THIS BOX IF YOU BELIEVE YOU NEED A DECISION WITHIN 24 HOURS (if you have a supporting statement from your prescribing doctor, attach it to this request).
