GLP-1 Special PA for T2DM — stabilized on requested product

All of:

  • FDA approved diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus
  • Member is currently stabilized on the requested product (documentation must be provided)

GLP-1 Special PA for T2DM — cannot use lower-tiered GLP-1/GIP-GLP-1 agonists

All of:

  • FDA approved diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus
  • Patient-specific, clinically significant reason (other than convenience) why member cannot use all available lower-tiered GLP-1 or GIP/GLP-1 agonists

Documentation to bring

  • Documentation of FDA approved type 2 diabetes mellitus diagnosis
  • Documentation that member is currently stabilized on the requested product OR patient-specific, clinically significant reason why member cannot use all available lower-tiered GLP-1 or GIP/GLP-1 agonists

Policy note: Ozempic (semaglutide injection) appears in the GIP/GLP-1 Agonists table as a Tier-2 brand-preferred product. The Special PA criteria for GLP-1 Agonists and GIP/GLP-1 Agonists apply when Ozempic is the subject of the PA request. A clinical exception applies for medications with a unique FDA approved indication not covered by all Tier-2 and Tier-3 GLP-1 or GIP/GLP-1 agonists. Tier-2 antidiabetic approval criteria also underlie the GLP-1 tier structure: T2DM diagnosis required plus at least 3-month metformin trial (unless intolerable) or clinically significant reason metformin is not appropriate. No quantity limits are specified in this document for Ozempic specifically.

Why Ozempic requests get denied by Oklahoma Medicaid

Based on what this policy asks for. Fix these before the first submission.

  1. Wrong brand for the diagnosis. Ozempic and Wegovy are the same molecule with different approved uses; a request for Ozempic under a diagnosis that matches Wegovy is routinely denied.
