Austedo Clinical Prior Authorization Criteria Revision Coming March 3
FirstCare will modify the Austedo prior authorization criteria on March 3, 2020. The criteria are included within the existing Vesicular Monoamine Transporter 2 (VMAT2) inhibitors criteria guide. All clinical edit criteria can be found here. The Texas Drug Utilization Review Board approved the criteria in January 2014. The class includes Austedo, Xenazine and Ingrezza. Austedo is approved for treatment of Huntington-Induced Chorea and Tardive Dyskinesia (TD). FirstCare will modify the prior authorization criteria to address the Austedo boxed warning about increased risk of depression in patients with only Huntington-Induced Chorea, and prevent unnecessary prior authorization denials for patients with TD.
