Why do some drugs require prior authorization (PA)?

For certain drugs, the Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee has developed criteria that must be met before a drug will be approved for coverage, even if it is on the formulary. Your doctor will request coverage for these drugs on your behalf. Generally, the decision will be made the same day as the request was made by your doctor. These drugs are noted on the formulary with a "PA" after their names.
