Certain medications require a coverage determination. CarePlus has placed this requirement on selected high-risk or high-cost medications because we want to make sure these medications do not interfere with others you take or add to your costs unnecessarily. If your medication requires this step, you, your appointed representative, or your prescribing physician or other prescriber will need to request and receive approval in order for CarePlus to cover your drug. Follow the link below for instructions about how to request a Part D Coverage Determination:
Submit your requests for payment reimbursement, along with proof of payment (bills, receipts) and/or a copy of the medical record documentation, if available, with your request. To make sure you are giving us all the information we need to make a decision, you may download, print, and complete a copy of the below Reimbursement Request Form. If you don’t want to use the form, send us a cover letter with all the needed documentation listed above.
If you need help completing the form, or would like more information about what you need to send us, call Member Services at 1-800-794-5907 (TTY: 711). From October 1 - March 31, we are open 7 days a week, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. From April 1 - September 30, we are open Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. You may always leave a voicemail after hours, Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays and we will return your call within one business day.
