Health care providers should entirely fill out and submit the completed form to the fax number listed on the form. Please include any additional documentation such as clinical notes, lab values, etc. that support your prior authorization request.
NOTE: Any prior authorization requests that aren't submitted using the Louisiana Uniform Prescription Drug Prior Authorization Form will be canceled. We'll ask you to resubmit your request using the correct form. Please include any needed UnitedHealthcare Community Plan forms, listed below, in addition to the Louisiana Uniform Prescription Drug Prior Authorization Form.
