Blue Care Network: Pharmacy Benefit Drugs

Some drugs require prior authorization before they can be dispensed to a BCN commercial BCN Advantage member.

This page offers resources for providers requesting prior authorization or an exception from other utilization management requirements for drugs covered under the pharmacy benefit.
