Early refill for a natural disaster You may request an early refill for your prescription when you need to evacuate for a natural disaster. To request an early refill or to locate pharmacies that remain open near you, contact WSRxS Customer Service. What to do if the plan denies coverage TIP: If your prescription coverage is denied by the pharmacy due to plan enrollment issues, contact: Employees: Your employer’s payroll, or benefits office. Retirees, PEBB Continuation Coverage, and retired employees of a former employer group: PEBB Program at 1-800-200-1004 (TRS: 711). If a network pharmacy (including mail-order or specialty drug) tells you that preauthorization is required, coverage is denied, or quantities are limited, you, your pharmacist, or your prescribing provider may contact WSRxS Customer Service to request a coverage review or preauthorization. If WSRxS denies the coverage request, you have the right to submit an appeal (see the “Complaint and appeal procedures” section). If your provider thinks you need the prescription drug immediately, they may request an expedited review by submitting all clinically relevant information to the plan by phone or fax. An expedited appeal replaces the first and second level appeals. WSRxS will decide on coverage of the prescription drug within 72 hours of the request. In this case, you may choose to purchase a three-day supply at your own expense.
