As of 1/1/2015, the Auvi-Q will return to the Express-Scripts Formulary, as a "Tier 2" medication, meaning it should be covered by most insurance plans! They were finally able to overcome the exclusivity contract brokered by another epinephrine manufacturer, and now freedom of choice has been restored to families in search of epinephrine! This change has already taken place with Caremark, as of 7/1/2014.

Ugh, my insurance now requires PA on Auvi-q

Does PA means physicians authorization?  or prior authorization?

I'm only asking because I am hitting that with other medications and because of that my allergist was surprised we did not need it for Auvi Q.  We need it for Ventolin (they will only cover Pro Air without it - and pro air causes DD to shake like crazy so this one went through easily), Nasonex (since there are now 2 over the counter options) and for Elidel (I'm not sure why on this one).

Prior authorization
