Helping Patients With Access to Their Prescribed Medication

The Pfizer Dermatology Patient Access team can conduct your patient’s benefits investigation to determine their health insurance coverage and plan-specific prior authorization (PA) requirements if applicable.

Some dermatology medications may require a PA. The Pfizer Dermatology Patient Access team can research your patient’s health plan for PA requirements and forms. For your convenience, and to help simplify this process, please download and review the PA checklist.

If a dermatology medication has been denied coverage, an appeal may be appropriate. The Pfizer Dermatology Patient Access team can provide information to assist patients who would like to appeal a PA denial. To help with this process, please download and review the APPEALS CHECKLIST and sample LETTER OF MEDICAL NECESSITY.

For some dermatology medications, plans may require your patient to be reapproved to continue treatment. Reauthorization frequency and requirements can vary by plan.

Pfizer Dermatology Patient Access and/or the Specialty Pharmacy will begin coordinating with you prior to expiration to help prevent any lapse in therapy for your patient. Pfizer Dermatology Patient Access or the Specialty Pharmacy can provide you with information about how to request reauthorization. You or your office may need to request reauthorization from the patient’s plan.
