What an absolute joke.

PA’s are supposed to be only used for expensive medication’s where a cheaper one might work just as well. What replacement is there for Vascepa? Which isn’t even expensive! This is Cigna gaming the system.

Around 66% of prescriptions that get rejected at the pharmacy require prior authorization. When a PA requirement is imposed, only 29% of patients end up with the originally prescribed product—and 40% end up abandoning therapy altogether! Not only is this negative for pharmaceutical organizations, most importantly this causes frustration to patients who don’t get the medication that could best treat their condition, or who don’t get any therapy at all.

Thanks for bringing this up. I need to switch insurer’s and will make sure to avoid them like the plague.
