No Prior Authorization (PA) Needed for Insulin Used to Treat Gestational Diabetes  

Mar 04, 2022

MaineCare will reimburse providers for Humulin and Novolin Neutral Protamine Hagedorn (NPH) insulin for gestational diabetes without a PA when providers indicate pregnancy on the prescription.   

If you prescribe Humulin or Novolin NPH insulin to a patient who is pregnant, and the pharmacy refuses to fill the prescription or says that a PA is required, please call the Change Healthcare Provider Helpdesk at 1-888-420-9711.
