Periodically, this manual will be updated with new or modified information. To ensure

and is not meant to supersede any local or federal regulations.
Select Health/Scripius administers a variety of plans including Commercial, Small
Employer, Individual, Medicaid, Medicare, and other Government sponsored plans.
The Select Health pharmacy network is comprised of nationally contracted chain
and independent pharmacies located in all 50 states. Covered members with Select
Health prescription drug coverage must have their prescriptions filled at a participating
pharmacy to obtain the maximum benefit. Covered members traveling outside their local
service area must also use a participating pharmacy to obtain the maximum benefit.
Pharmacies participating in the Select Health pharmacy network are eligible to fill
prescriptions for Select Health plans and/or lines of business identified in the pharmacy
network agreement, unless participation is restricted by the plan. For some plans, the
prescriber writing the prescription must be participating in the plan.
The information included in this provider manual is considered confidential and
proprietary to Select Health and provided for business purposes only. Provider is not
authorized to copy, reproduce, distribute, or otherwise share the information contained in
the manual except as authorized by the pharmacy network agreement.
Select Health has established service, credentialing, and operational standards for
participating pharmacies to ensure delivery of quality service to all covered members.
Patient service standards include that pharmacies/pharmacists will:
Maintain patient profiles for prescription medication dispensed.
Not destroy any patient record produced, unless prior written consent is obtained
from Select Health, for a period of at least five (5) years.
React appropriately to online edits, which may affect the patient’s medical status or
coverage.
Provide instruction to the patient on the use of medication, including information
based on the online drug messages, before dispensing of each prescription,
according to state and federal law.
Provide all drug products covered by the benefit plans, including products normally
stocked and those that require special order, if possible.
Have established formal prescription quality assurance and error prevention measures.
Have a formal process for handling prescription errors.

The pharmacy must submit all prescription claims online to Select Health using the
most current version of the NCPDP telecommunications standard. Tape billing will not
be accepted or paid. The pharmacy must submit prescription claims within 90 days of
the fill date. The pharmacy is required to bill the most cost-effective package size.
Each individual claim will be processed as received by Select Health. Extensive edit
checks are made to ensure proper claims adjudication. Claims submitted containing
one or more errors will be rejected.
The pharmacy shall not submit claims for payment for prescriptions filled, but not
dispensed to a covered member. Non-compliance with this contractual provision will
be grounds for termination of the Prescription Drug and Pharmacy Services Agreement
and/or adjustment of payment on these claims.
Select Health maintains a guide with sample ID cards on their website. The primary
cardholder of Select Health will receive an ID card that will provide the cardholder’s
identification number and copayment information.
The identification number will appear as follows: 800000000 (example).
Select Health Community Care Identification Numbers
Individuals enrolled in Select Health Community Care will be issued a Select Health
identification number upon enrollment. The Utah Department of Health will continue to
issue Medicaid identification cards. Pharmacies should request both the Select Health
and Medicaid cards when dispensing medication.
Select Health Community Care claims can be submitted for processing using either the
Select Health or Medicaid identification number.

COVERAGE
Dependent coverage may include a spouse and/or children. Covered family members
are identified by the following relationship codes:
0  Not Specified
1  Cardholder
2  Spouse
3  Child
4  Other
NOTE: Use of the correct relationship code is important. Prescription claims must be
submitted to Select Health only for the eligible member for whom the prescription is
written by the prescriber. This requirement has added significance in that DUR reviews
are based on claims submitted for the correct eligible member.
The pharmacy agrees to use an online point-of-sale (POS) authorization terminal or
host-to-host online link with the Select Health system for verifying eligibility of covered
members. The cardholder’s identification number for POS entry should be obtained
from their ID card. These cards are used for identification purpose only and are not a
guarantee of coverage.
If eligibility cannot be verified using the above method, the pharmacy should call the
Select Health Pharmacy Help Desk for verification of eligibility using the telephone
number listed on the identification card. Select Health will advise the pharmacy if the
patient is eligible.
Select Health Community Care members must use a participating pharmacy of Utah
Medicaid and Select Health Community Care to obtain benefits.
Members not using a participating pharmacy must pay in full for their prescription(s)
and seek reimbursement from Select Health.
Members will be reimbursed the discounted amount that the plan would have had
to pay to a participating pharmacy for the prescription(s), less the copayment. For
Medicare, Select Health Medicare will only cover up to a 30-day supply at an out-of-
network pharmacy. The member will be reimbursed for Part D medications covered on
the plan’s Drug List (formulary) that were not paid for with assistance from a discount
or coupon card.
Most Select Health plans allow for coordination of benefits (COB) with a member’s
primary carrier. If a member has an additional prescription benefit plan, the pharmacy
should submit the claim to the appropriate payer in accordance with any coordination
of benefits requirements. The pharmacy should submit the primary claim to the
member’s primary payer for adjudication. In some instances, the secondary claim
can be electronically submitted to Select Health for adjudication. The member may

seek reimbursement from Select Health for any secondary claims not processed
electronically.
Secondary Claim Submission (Select Health Community Care)
Pharmacies must explore payment from all other liable parties such as insurance
coverage, including a health plan, before seeking Medicaid payment. Before submitting
a secondary claim to Select Health Community Care, collect only the applicable
Medicaid copayment usually charged at the time of service. Refer to Utah Medicaid
Provider Manual, Section 1, Chapter 11.4 for additional instruction regarding
coordination with other liable parties.
Member Financial Responsibility
When a person presents a Select Health ID card to the pharmacy, the ID card may
advise of the copayment amount to be collected. Since the pharmacy is submitting the
claim via the point-of-sale system, the electronic response to the pharmacy will include
a detailed description of the member’s financial responsibility.
If the member is questioning the calculated copay or coinsurance amounts returned on
the transaction, remind the member that the copay is determined by many factors. The
following is a non-inclusive list of items that may affect the copayment or coinsurance
being returned:
Brand vs. Generic Drug
Quantity Dispensed
Day Supply Dispensed
Member Deductible
If a review of the above items still leaves questions for the member regarding their
calculated copay, direct the member to contact the Select Health Member Services line
for assistance.
Prohibition on Billing Patients
Participating pharmacies of Select Health/Scripius are prohibited to collect payment
from members, for covered services, that exceeds the copay or coinsurance amount
returned via the point-of-sale system. This includes, but is not limited to, any amount
less than the pharmacy’s acquisition cost, any additional cost incurred when a specific
brand or manufacturer is requested by the member, additional fees for services
included in the dispensing of the drug (i.e. additional compounding fees), etc.
Participating pharmacies of Utah Medicaid and Select Health Community Care are
only allowed to collect payment from Medicaid enrollees for non-covered services
when certain circumstances are met. The specific policy is described in the Utah
Medicaid provider manual. See the Utah Medicaid Provider Manual, Section 4.

Reimbursement Rate Questions
If the pharmacy has questions regarding the reimbursement rate for a particular
medication, they are welcome to contact the Select Health Pharmacy Help Desk for
assistance. Additionally, the pharmacy can review the following items that can directly
affect the reimbursement rate to ensure the transaction was submitted correctly:
Quantity Submitted: Confirm that the metric quantity of the prescription was
submitted correctly.
Day Supply: Confirm that the day supply of the prescription was submitted correctly.
DAW Code: Confirm that the submitted DAW code accurately reflects the situation.
After evaluating the above fields, if all appears to be accurate, call the Select Health
Pharmacy Help Desk for further assistance.
The pharmacy will maintain an approved daily signature log which contains a
disclaimer verifying the member has received the prescription and authorizes the
release of all prescriptions and related information to Select Health. The pharmacy will
also require the member or the representative who receives the service to sign for all
prescriptions dispensed.
Electronic prescribing (e-prescribing) is the transmission, using electronic media, of
prescription or prescription-related information between a prescriber, dispensing
pharmacy, pharmacy benefit manager, or health plan, either directly or through an
intermediary. E-prescribing should improve quality, safety, efficiency, and consumer
convenience.
Pharmacies must submit the Origin Code on the transaction, in accordance with the
Payer Sheet included in this Provider Manual, to indicate how the prescription was
obtained by the pharmacy.
To qualify as an electronic prescription, the electronic prescription must be noted prior
to dispensing, and must clearly record, in a manner that cannot be altered, the system-
assigned user and date and time stamp to take the place of hard copy documentation.
For auditing purposes, the following data elements should be present on an electronic
prescription as authentication of electronic signatures:
Electronic Transaction Identifier
Prescriber Identifier(s)
Written Date/Time
Designated Agent (if applicable)
Pharmacies may only dispense federally Controlled Substances based on a written
or electronic prescription that complies with all applicable laws and regulations for
prescribing and dispensing Controlled Substances.

4.0 Dispensing Edits
This section contains information on some of the more common edits applied to the
Select Health plans.
Select Health Commercial, Scripius PBM Products, and Select Health
Community Care (Utah State Medicaid)
The following quantity limits will be applied to all transactions processed to Select
Health:
Maximum thirty-four (34)-day supply of tablets, capsules, and liquids to be taken orally.

ophthalmic product; if only manufactured in package sizes greater than fifteen (15)
milliliters, the smallest package size available from the manufacturer is mandated. One
copay will be charged per vial.
Some products may be limited to an approved quantity per each acute treatment
period.
Unless otherwise specified, one copayment will apply for each item dispensed within
the limit. There are instances in which exceptions can be made.
Except for Select Health Community Care (Medicaid), most Select Health plans offer
a ninety (90)-day supply benefit for maintenance medications, if the member and
medication meet specific qualifications. The necessary qualifications include that the
medication must be approved on the formulary, and the member must have filled
the prescription, at the same strength, at least once within the past 180 days. If the
pharmacy has questions regarding eligibility or if a rejection is received when the claim
is processed, please contact the Pharmacy Help Desk for assistance.
Select Health Medicare (Medicare Part D)
For certain drugs, the Medicare plan may limit the amount of a prescription a member
can receive (maximum number of tablets or capsules, etc. per prescription). Asking for
an exception may allow for greater quantity dispensed when a medication exceeds the
plan limits.
The following refill edits will be applied to all transactions processed to Select Health:
Prescriptions cannot be refilled beyond twelve (12) months from the date on which
the prescription was written. After the 12 months have lapsed, a new prescription
with a new prescription number must be assigned.
Prescriptions should not be refilled more times than the number specified by the
prescriber.
Additional refills authorized by the prescriber must be documented on the hard copy
of the prescription or a new prescription number must be assigned with the refills

Select Health Medicare (Medicare Part D)
A grievance is an escalated complaint from a Medicare member regarding a specific
issue as it relates to the service they received. For example, an official grievance is
not filed over specific formulary rules or plan costs, but rather would be related to
the timeliness of filling a prescription or if the member received other poor service.
Members are welcome to contact Select Health through the Medicare Member
Services line, fax line, or through U.S. mail.
Pharmacies who disagree with the MAC pricing on a claim may submit a MAC
Pricing Research Request (dispute) through Select Health’s online tool available at
selecthealth.org/pharmacy/resources.
Requests must be received within 21 days of initial adjudication. Additionally, an invoice
dated within 30 days of the claim’s date of service, showing the pharmacy’s acquisition
cost, must be provided. Requests outside of these parameters or sent via email will not
be accepted.
For any escalated questions or issues not resolved in this provider manual, pharmacies
may email concerns to SHPharmacyContrac[email protected].

6.0 Audit Information
Select Health or designated vendor regularly monitors and audits pharmacy claims.
Part of this process is accomplished by the pharmacy providing access at reasonable
times upon request by either Select Health or their designee or any governmental
regulatory agency to inspect the facilities, equipment, books, and records of the
pharmacy. This includes, but is not limited to, member records and all prescription
dispensing records. A notice will be sent to the pharmacy location that has filled the
prescription(s) in question. A description of the issue under review will be included,
along with specific claim-related information.
The pharmacy is given thirty (30) days from the date of the letter to respond,
depending on the scope of the audit. If a response is not received within this period, this
will be interpreted as non-compliance and the pharmacy is subject to adjustment of
the paid dollars on those claims.
Additionally, when billing discrepancies are identified by Select Health and are
disclosed to the pharmacy, the pharmacy is given thirty (30) days to review/dispute
the findings. If a response is not received within this time, this will be interpreted as
consent to the finding and the adjustments will be reflected on the pharmacy’s next
remittance cycle.
When necessary, extensions will be granted if the pharmacy contacts Select Health
within the specified time.

Generally Excluded Part D Medications
Non-Part D drugs, including prescription drugs covered by Part A or Part B and other
drugs excluded from coverage by Medicare.
Diabetic Supplies
Lancets and Test Strips, through part of the Medicare Part B benefit, will be allowed to
process at the pharmacy through the POS.
Step Therapy
Select Health Medicare requires Step Therapy for certain drugs. This means that
certain drugs are covered by the Medicare plan only after the member has tried the
alternative therapy without success.
Exceptions and Coverage Determinations
At any time, a member may request a coverage determination or an exception to a
prior authorization requirement or other edit imposed by the Medicare Part D plan.
The individual member, member’s representative, or the prescribing physician or
other prescriber may initiate the exception request. Common reasons for requesting
coverage determination or an exception are:
For coverage of a drug that requires prior authorization
For coverage of a drug that is not covered on the plan’s formulary
To bypass step therapy or quantity limit restrictions
To cover a drug at a lower tier

MEDICARE
PART D
19
PROVIDER REFERENCE MANUAL: PHARMACY PLANS
MARCH 2024
If an exception is approved, it will generally be honored for the remainder of the plan
year with no requirement to initiate another coverage determination each time the
medication is being filled.
There is no guarantee that a request for exception will be granted. Each request will be
evaluated individually based on the situation at hand.
Part B and Part D Benefit Overlap
Drugs that are eligible under a member’s Medicare Part B benefit are not eligible
for coverage under the Part D benefit. The determination for under which benefit a
drug will be covered is not just determined by the drug itself, but also its indication
and administration. Medicare Part B covers a limited list of specific drugs including
injectable and infusible drugs that are not usually self-administered. Edits will be
applied in the Select Health system to manage these rules at adjudication.
Exceptions to Plan Coverage
Exceptions to Select Health Medicare Plan coverage include any pharmacy claims
processed from a foreign pharmacy. Claims processed at pharmacies outside the
United States will not be paid through the Select Health Medicare Advantage program.
The Select Health Community Care plan generally covers all medications included on
the Prescription Drug Formulary for Traditional and Non-Traditional enrollees.
There are some drugs that will continue to be covered by the State Medicaid agency.
Coverage and applicable costs are not decided by Select Health Community Care.
Therapeutic classes carved out include:
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
Antidepressant
Anti-anxiety
Anticonvulsant
Antipsychotic
Hemophilia factor
Immunosuppressive
Substance abuse (opioid or alcohol)
Medical necessity is evaluated for services typically not covered for children and
pregnant women.

8.0 Common Reject Messages
Message Explanation
09: M/I
Birth Date
Select Health requires a valid date of birth for the cardholder ID to be submitted in order to verify
eligibility and process claims. If the member’s date of birth is submitted incorrectly, the pharmacy will
receive the M/I Birth Date rejection. When received, the pharmacy should contact the Select Health
Help Desk to verify the correct information and for assistance in processing.
13: M/I Other
Coverage Code
The M/I Other Coverage Code error message may appear when a claim is being submitted to Select
Health as the secondary payer and Select Health does not have record of other health insurance for
the member. When received, the pharmacy should contact the Select Health Help Desk to verify the
correct order of benefits information and for assistance in processing.
40: Pharmacy
Not Contracted
with Plan on
Date of Service
Select Health requires an active contract for pharmacies to submit claims for payment at point of
sale. When the Pharmacy Not Contracted with Plan on Date of Service error is received, the pharmacy
should contact the Select Health Help Desk to verify their contract status.
41: Submit
Bill to Other
Processor or
Primary Payor
The Submit Bill to Other Processor or Primary Payor error message may appear when a claim is
being submitted to Select Health as the primary payer and Select Health records have other health
insurance on file as the primary payor for the member. When received, the pharmacy should contact
the Select Health Help Desk to verify the correct order of benefits information and for assistance in
processing.
52: Non-
Matched
Cardholder ID
Select Health requires a valid cardholder ID to be submitted in order to verify eligibility and process
claims. The ID number is the 9-digit subscriber ID number that can be found on the member’s ID card.
If the member’s ID number or the member’s date of birth is submitted incorrectly, the pharmacy will
receive the Non-Matched Cardholder ID rejection. When received, the pharmacy should contact the
Select Health Help Desk to verify the correct information and for assistance in processing.
70: Product/
Service Not
Covered and
MR: Product
Not on
Formulary
This error message may appear for a member with a formulary requirement. If this is the case, the
online system will not return financial information and the prescription will not be reimbursed by Select
Health.
Select Health members have the following options should this rejection be received:
Consult with the prescribing physician to discuss formulary alternatives prior to having the pre-
scription filled
Pay in full for the non-covered medication and discuss formulary alternatives for future fills (this is
not reimbursable)
Pay in full for the non-covered medication
Contact the Select Health Member Services line for assistance in determining prescription benefit
coverage. Pharmacists may also contact the member’s prescribing physician to discuss formulary
alternatives and/or formulary exception requests, which can be initiated by the prescribing physician.
Please note that if the member pays in full for the non-covered medication, Select Health does not
guarantee that reimbursement will be made, either retroactively or for future fills.

PROVIDER REFERENCE MANUAL: PHARMACY PLANS
MARCH 2024
Message Explanation
71: Prescriber
is Not Covered
There are several situations that could cause a Prescriber is Not Covered error. Below are the most
common examples:
Select Health requires a valid NPI number for prescriber identification. Select Health relies on the
pharmacy for submission of accurate information.
Some plans require that the prescribing physician participate in the Select Health physician net-
work for a medication to be covered.
The prescriber may be sanctioned by the Office of Inspector General (OIG).
75: Prior
Authorization
Required
There are certain medications that Select Health requires prior authorization before the medication
can be dispensed to the member. When this rejection is received, the pharmacy may contact the Se-
lect Health Help Desk to begin the prior authorization process. The Select Health Prescription Drug List
(PDL) notates the medications that require prior authorization with a “(PA)” in the “Spec. Requirements
column. For the most up-to-date drug information, access the PDL through the Select Health website.
76: Plan
Limitations
Exceeded
The Plan Limitations Exceeded rejection could occur for a variety of reasons, including the
most common:
Over Quantity Limits:
This could be caused by a dose optimization issue which would require the prescribing physician’s
office to change to a different strength of the same medication.
Alternatively, the prescribing physician can send into Select Health a Letter of Medical Necessity
(LMN) for review as originally prescribed.
As a final option, the pharmacy can resubmit the prescription for the amount Select Health will allow.
Cost Exceeds Maximum:
Select Health applies a max cost per prescription of $1,000; in most instances when this reject is
received for exceeding the max cost edit, the pharmacy can call the Select Health Help Desk for an
override.
Compound medications have a different cost edit of $75 per prescription; in many cases, a compound
medication will require a LMN from the prescribing physician to obtain the necessary cost override.
Over Day Supply Limits: Select Health applies a max day supply that can vary by plan and by drug. If
the pharmacy has questions if this rejection is received, please contact the Pharmacy Help Desk for
assistance.
Patient Age Exceeds Maximum Age Allowed for Drug: Select Health applies age limitations to
applicable medications depending on safety, efficacy, or specialized dosage form.
Over Maximum Daily Dose: Select Health may apply a maximum daily dose based on the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration (FDA) approved labeling and other accepted drug compendia guidelines
meeting minimum levels of evidence.
79: Refill Too
Soon
Select Health applies an edit for refilled medications that require the medication be 75% gone before a
refill can be allowed, for most plans. For controlled substances the edit requires that the medication be
80% gone before a refill can be allowed. Contact the Select Health Pharmacy Help Desk for additional
information or assistance processing.

PROVIDER REFERENCE MANUAL: PHARMACY PLANS
MARCH 2024
Message Explanation
88: DUR Reject
Error
There are several situations that could cause a DUR Reject Error. The most common examples are:
Opioid Care Coordination: Select Health will give a soft rejection when prescriptions are written
for more than 90 morphine milligram equivalents (MME) daily. For a Medicare or commercial
member, the pharmacist must verify dosing and plan with the prescriber. After verification has
taken place, the pharmacy can override the edit using a Submission Clarification Code of 07:
Medically Necessary. For a Medicaid member the maximum restriction is 90 morphine milligram
equivalents (MME) daily and cannot be overridden on the pharmacy side.
Opioid High-Dosage Limits: Select Health will reject claims when filling for a high-dose opioid,
greater than 200 MME for most plans. For Medicaid members, Select Health will reject claims
when filling for a high-dose opioid, greater than 90 MME. The patient or prescriber is required to
send a prior authorization request to Select Health if they believe an exception should be granted
for this restriction.
Seven-Day Max Fill For Opioid Naïve Patients: Select Health will only allow a maximum 7-day fill
for any patient that is opioid naïve for their first fill. (For a Medicaid member, opioids prescribed by
a dentist are limited to a maximum 3-day fill.)
Concurrent Benzodiazepine and Opioid Therapy: Select Health will give a soft rejection when a
patient has overlapping days supplies of benzodiazepine and opioid medications. The pharmacist
must verify dosing and plan with the prescriber. After verification has taken place, the pharmacy
can override the edit using a submission clarification code of 07: Medically Necessary.
Multiple Long-Acting Opioid Prescriptions: Select Health will give a soft rejection when a patient
attempts to fill more than one long-acting opioid medication with overlapping days supplies. The
pharmacist must verify dosing and plan with the prescriber. After verification has taken place, the
pharmacy can override the edit using a submission clarification code of 07: Medically Necessary.
569: Provide

When a claim for a Medicare Part D drug is submitted to the Select Health Medicare plan and is not
covered on the formulary or exceeds formulary limitations and is outside the Medicare Part D tran-
sition fill coverage period, the Provide Notice: Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage and Your Rights
rejection will be sent. When this rejection is received and the member must leave the pharmacy
without their prescription, the pharmacy is required to provide the member with the Member’s Rights
document.
608: Step

10.0 Select Health Medicare (Medicare Part D): Specific Information
10.1 PLAN SUMMARY
Select Health’s Medicare plan is an MAPD plan that covers parts of Utah, Idaho,
and Nevada. The plan is committed to following Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
Services (CMS) guidelines and ensuring access to necessary medications while
working closely with the pharmacies to provide the best customer experience possible.
It is expected that the provider agrees to adhere to the CMS Prescription Drug Benefit
Manual, Chapter 9  Part D Program to Control Fraud, Waste, and Abuse, and Part
D Sponsors’ policies and procedures, training and corrective action plans related to
the program. Cooperation with the Part D Plan Sponsor includes providing copies
of prescriptions, signature logs, and other related documentation to assist in any
investigations.
To be considered a pharmacy in compliance with Medicare Part D rules and
regulations, pharmacies must agree under CMS guidelines to provide ongoing
Medicare Part D training and documentation to its staff.
As part of the audit process with Select Health, copies of this training and record of the
staff receiving the training may be required to be produced, as needed.
To process Medicare Part D claims for Select Health, pharmacies are required to sign a
specific Medicare contract addendum. If not signed, any Medicare claims processed to
Select Health will be rejected at POS.
Veterans Administration benefits are separate and distinct from benefits provided
under Medicare Part D, per federal regulations. By law, VA cannot bill Medicare. A
beneficiary may not use both VA prescription drug benefits and Part D benefits for a
single prescription.
To be in compliance with CMS requirements, if a member should present a Part D
acknowledgment letter in place of an ID card, the pharmacy should honor that letter
as sufficient eligibility to process a claim to Select Health for their Medicare Part D
benefit. If the presented letter does not contain sufficient information to process a
claim to Select Health, please contact the Select Health Medicare Part D Help Desk for
assistance in processing.
In accordance to the transition plan requirements from CMS, Select Health will offer
short-term coverage for Part D benefits to members that are new to the plan. During
this transition period, a member can receive an initial fill of an ongoing medication
even if it is not covered under the new Medicare Part D plan (including if it requires
prior authorization or step therapy). It is assumed that during this transition period,

the member will be working with their physician to identify alternative equivalent

For long-term care facilities to process Medicare Part D claims to Select Health, the
pharmacy is required to sign a specific LTC Medicare contract addendum. If not signed,
any Medicare claims processed to Select Health will be rejected at POS.
For a home infusion pharmacy to process Medicare Part D claims to Select Health,
the pharmacy must sign a specific home infusion Medicare contract addendum. If not
signed, any Medicare claims processed to Select Health will be rejected at POS.

11.0 Select Health Community Care (Medicaid): Specific Information
Pharmacies that contract to provide services to Select Health Community Care
members must also be a participating provider with Utah Medicaid. See the Utah
State Medicaid Provider Manual for more information.
All written prescriptions for drugs under the Medicaid program must be on tamper-
resistant prescription pads.
Compliance with all federal and state laws regarding the types of documentation and
how prescriptions are filled must be maintained.
To be considered “tamper resistant,” Medicaid written prescriptions must contain one
or more industry-recognized features designed to prevent:
1. Unauthorized copying of a completed or blank prescription form;
2. The erasure or modification of information written on the prescription by the
prescriber; and
3. The use of counterfeit prescription forms.
Medicaid requires use of generic drugs, unless the physician obtains a prior approval
for the brand name drug. However, Medicaid does not pay for generic house-brand or
store-brand products unless the manufacturer has entered into a rebate agreement
for each specific NDC number. Manufacturers that have not entered the federal rebate
program will not have their products covered. This includes almost all ‘house-brand’
and ‘store-brand’ products.
Some medications that require preauthorization may be provided in a medical
emergency before authorization is obtained from Select Health. When a medical
emergency occurs, and a medication requiring a preauthorization is required,
pharmacy providers may provide up to a 72-hour supply of the medication. When
contacted, Medicaid will issue an authorization for the 72-hour supply of the medication
on the next business day. All subsequent quantities must meet all plan requirements
for the medication. It is the responsibility of the medication prescriber to provide the
necessary documentation.
Select Health Community Care enrollees who inappropriately utilize health care
services may be enrolled in the Restriction Program. Enrollees are identified for
enrollment through:
Periodic review of patient profiles to identify inappropriate over-utilization of medical
providers, urgent care centers, specialists, medications, and/or pharmacies.
Verbal and written reports of inappropriate use of services generated by one or more
health care providers regarding the member. These reports are verified through a
review of the patient’s claim history by Medicaid staff and medical consultants.
Referral from Medicaid staff.

Enrollees in the Restriction Program are informed of the reasons for enrollment,
counseled in the appropriate use of health care services, and assigned a Primary
Care Provider and a pharmacy. In addition to the Select Health Community Care
card, enrollees will receive a Utah Medicaid card, which identifies the enrollee as
“RESTRICTED” below the eligibility information and above the member’s name. These
clients must receive all health care services through either the assigned primary
care provider or receive a referral from this primary care to see any other provider. All
pharmacy services must be received from the assigned pharmacy. Select Health will
only pay claims for services rendered by providers:
Listed on the card; and
From whom members were appropriately referred.
Emergency services are not restricted to assigned providers.
