Prior authorization rules
- Prior authorization is typical for GLP-1s in state Medicaid programs, says
- For diabetes, the records are your diagnosis and recent A1C. For covered weight loss, records are your measured BMI plus weight-related conditions.
- A request goes from your prescriber to your Medicaid plan.

How to check your plan
- On the state's Oklahoma Medicaid drugs list, look for the drug.
- If a managed care plan is the one running your Medicaid, call your card's member number and ask if the drug requires prior authorization.
- Which GLP-1 is preferred? Ask your prescriber, because drugs with preferred status are approved faster.
- Keep the approval or denial notice, since it shows which rule applies to you.
