Expanded State of Emergency in Louisiana Due to Heavy Rain, Severe Storms and Flash Flooding

The Governor of Louisiana has expanded the state of emergency due to severe weather to include the following additional counties: Ascension, Iberville, and Lafayette. There are provisions being made for affected members. Aetna (the Plan’s Administrator) waives precertification/prior approval requirements for members identified as potentially being affected. If you are impacted by the emergency or have questions regarding precertification/prior approval, please call us at 1-800-593-2354.

Express Scripts (the Plan’s Pharmacy Benefit Manager) has activated an emergency benefit override that allows pharmacies, at the point of sale (POS), to override certain benefit coverage/edits such as an early refill during a government-defined emergency. In addition, if your home delivery of medications is affected by the emergency, you may provide a temporary alternate address (either online at www.express-scripts.com or by calling 1-800-818-6717) or request a local fill as needed.. The Emergency Access to Benefits/Refill Too Soon override process is implemented with an effective date of May 17, 2021, and expiration date of June 16, 2021.
