Medicaid eligibility and benefit plans vary from state-to-state. Your patient needs to understand the local state’s program’s coverage policy before treatment is initiated. Usually, use of Thyrogen will need to be considered medically necessary to be covered under the Medicaid program. Depending on the state, use of Thyrogen may require prior approval request by the state Medicaid program. If this is the case, you may fill out a prior authorization form stating your patient’s medical necessity. If the state Medicaid office approves the request, your patient will be eligible to receive Thyrogen
