In July, CVS Caremark changed its prior authorization forms for many biologic drugs, creating an increased administrative burden for rheumatology practices. Chief among the many complaints the ACR received were new criteria around the evaluation of treatment efficacy for continuation of therapy requests. ACR leaders shared these concerns with CVS Caremark and received reassurance that revised forms will be implemented in January 2022.
