Formulary exception requests
Last Updated on February 19, 2026
Requests for a formulary exception review or an authorization for a drug restricted by utilization management can be initiated by contacting Security Health Plan Pharmacy Services, or by using the Security Health Plan interactive Provider Portal. Formulary exceptions will be considered if the drug requested is a substitute for a formulary drug and there is either documented clinical failure of the formulary alternative(s) in appropriate dosage regimens or if the member has a documented allergy, intolerance or medical contraindication to the use of the formulary alternative(s). Specific criteria for drugs requiring prior authorization are available online.
As a federally qualified health center, Family Health Center may not be able to provide coverage for all medication requested. If medication is clinically appropriate, provider can work with Family Health Center Pharmacy Services to seek alternative resources for patients to access medication.
Exceptions for medications specifically excluded in the plan policy will not be granted. Security Health Plan will respond to an authorization request as expeditiously as the medical condition requires, but no later than 15 calendar days.
