1 member education Dose Optimization Do you take a prescription drug more than once each day? For some drugs, your doctor can prescribe a higher amount that you only have to take once a day. We call this dose optimization. We want you to know about the advantages of dose optimization.

2 member education What is dose optimization? Dose optimization usually means increasing the amount of a medication so that you only have to take it once a day, instead of taking a lower dose two times each day. For example, a 10mg dose taken twice per day would be changed to a 20mg dose taken only once per day. Sometimes, doctors prescribe drugs at a lower dose when people start taking them and then gradually increase the dose. The goal of dose optimization in these cases is to help make sure you take a single dosage at the higher strength as soon as your doctor thinks it s appropriate. There are important reasons to take your drug once per day Forgetting to take your medication can cause health problems. And research shows it s easier for people to remember to take their medication if they only have to take it once per day. You may be able to save money if you take fewer doses each day. For example, a 20mg dose of a drug taken once per day may cost less than a 10mg dose taken twice per day. You would pay for fewer tablets or capsules. But, because each tablet would be a higher strength, you would still get the same amount of medication your doctor prescribed. Your pharmacist will tell you if the medication you take requires dose optimization The pharmacy will receive an electronic message if your drug requires dose optimization. Then, your pharmacist will: call your doctor to see if the dosage can be changed so you only have to take the drug once each day talk to you and your doctor about other ways to meet the requirement, if needed Fill your prescription at the new dose if your doctor approves. There may be medical reasons why your doctor believes the original dosage is better for you. Your doctor will contact us to request prior authorization review to determine if your prescription plan can cover your medication dosage. What is prior authorization? Prior authorization means we need to know a little more about your health before we can cover your prescription. Your doctor or pharmacist will provide this information to us if it is needed. If we find your health needs require the dosage your doctor prescribed, we ll contact your doctor or your pharmacist and your prescription will be filled. We may do additional medical review if your prescription claim is not approved. If this medical review finds that your prescription claim is still not approved, we ll send a letter to you and your doctor describing how you can start the Anthem appeals and/or grievance process.
