The insurance group should be requesting evidence of medical necessity from the physician’s office. Even if the insurance has Step Therapy, they should be able to provide a pathway to coverage if the medication is a drug class that is covered by the plan. Sounds like one of the two parties is not wanting to work with the other.
With our plan, I see the physician’s office being the most bogged down and slow to engage. They have so many patients to care for that they often are hesitant to engage with the approval process.
My suggesting is to request in writing form the insurance provider the basis of their denial and provide that to the physician for review. They may need to review the data they are sending to insurance to ensure everything is in accordance with the data being requested.
Yes,I feel the doctor's office is putting in a minimum effort and telling me: Oh well, we can't influence the insurance's decision. What???! It sounds a lot like you don't want to be bothered. It's so sad. Thank you so much for your comments and recommendations. They were very insightful and helpful.

No help, just here to say that insurance is the worst and it’s disgusting how they run healthcare
Just doesn’t make sense,the more I read about such stories,it makes me mad and sad..it’s insurance,just cover the drug cost..
Your doctor would need to get medical exception from the insurance plan. This is harder than prior authorization and you need a doctor who will stick with it all the way through.
You can also file an ERISA appeal which sets up fiduciary duty requirements. Persons or entities that have any discretionary authority over your benefits or whether your claim is valid are fiduciaries under ERISA. They have strict obligations to carry out their duties with complete loyalty to you, as a prudent person acting in like circumstance would do and in compliance with the documents that govern the plan. Finally, ERISA requires employers or their agents to provide you with a full and fair review when you appeal a denied claim.
As someone in healthcare, you will need to speak with the medical office. Your clinic may be doing this without your knowledge. If I were you, I would nicely speak to the medical office again and ask if an appeal process has been started. If there is someone in charge of insurance appeals and/or prior approvals, I would speak directly to him/her. Please know that as someone who works with a clinic, insurances can make things very difficult to get approved from the clinic side. It is sometimes very helpful when the patient, in this case the guardian, also calls the insurance company to get information that may be helpful in obtaining an approval.
