Claim Processing
72-hour emergency overrides apply to non-preferred drugs on the preferred drug list or drugs subject to clinical prior authorization. Pharmacies will be paid in full for 72-hour emergency prescription claims.
To learn what is required to submit a 72-hour emergency claims, pharmacy staff should refer to the Pharmacy Provider Procedure Manual. A 72-hour emergency prescription claim can be used for people enrolled in either traditional Medicaid or Medicaid managed care:
- Authorization for Traditional Medicaid claims should be directed to the Texas Prior Authorization Call Center.
- Pharmacies submitting claims for people enrolled in Medicaid managed care should refer the prescribing provider to the person's MCO's prior authorization call center.
Pharmacy Education
We encourage pharmacy staff to review and share the Dispensing 72-hour Emergency Prescriptions instructions and reproduce for staff education.
