I just have to ask how other MA's are managing the growing number of prior auths for scripts? I could literally spend half the day just doing those and I'm getting so frustrated with it because it's taking time away from much more important tasks. I've tried going to my manager but she expects everything to get done at the end of the day, including prior auths. Suggestions please!

We have a person that does all of our authorizations for private insurance. If it is Medicaid or Medicare the pharmacy does a TAR.

Hi Hearts
What is a TAR?

Treatment Authorization Request. At least that is what they call it in California, I am not sure if other states have it, it might be called something else.
