Prescribers are encouraged to write prescriptions for preferred products. However, if it is determined that a patient’s condition requires therapy with a non-preferred drug, the prescriber (or his/her designated office personnel) is responsible for initiating the Prior Authorization (PA) request. A prospective, approved PA request will prevent rejection of prescription claims at the pharmacy due to the PA requirement.
PA requests may be submitted online, via telephone, or fax to the Magellan Medicaid Administration Clinical Call Center. To access the WebPA tool for online PA submission, visit http://southcarolina.fhsc.com, click on "Prescribers", then "WebPA". New users will need to click on “UAC” in the right hand corner to request a User ID and Password. The toll-free telephone and fax numbers for the Clinical Call Center are 866-247-1181 and 888-603-7696, respectively. The Magellan Clinical Call Center telephone number is reserved for use by healthcare professionals and should not be provided to beneficiaries. Magellan’s Beneficiary Call Centertelephone number for Pharmacy Services is 800-834-2680.
