Drug Exception Process
If the medications covered by your insurance do not work for your condition, or if an effective drug is not covered, there is a special process to request exceptions.
Download and complete the Drug Exception Request Form to request coverage of a drug that is not automatically covered under the drug plan, ask your doctor to complete the physician information section and submit your request to be considered for a drug exception.
To be considered for a drug exception, you must have tried at least one medication on your student health plan.
