We will require preauthorization for some drugs covered under the Part B drug benefit for Medicare Advantage members starting Jan. 1, 2018. This policy is consistent with the preauthorization process now in place for ConnectiCare commercial plans, including individual and group policies.
Here’s a list of drugs that will require preauthorization and where you will submit requests.
Depending on the drug, preauthorization requests will be reviewed by us or by one of our partners, New Century Health (NCH) or Magellan Rx Management (Magellan Rx).

- Going to my.newcenturyhealth.com (log-in required), or
