A member asked:

What is a medicine authorization form? why does tricare need one signed from my doctor? and will telehealth doctors sign them?

Every private insurance has their own rules regarding ordered meds. Some needs pre authorization prior to being filled. Which your doc's office does- no matter what kind of visit

This process must be handled by the physician who initiated your medication request, as otherwise, Tricare will be unable to evaluate your needed medication. Yes, our telehealth doctors could handle this for an ongoing patient and this might be your approach for the future. (www.connect@healthtap.com)
