Oregon 440-4992 Uniform Prescription PA Request

Oregon's Division of Financial Regulation adopted form 440-4992 under OAR 836-053-1205 as the uniform request payers must accept for prescription drug prior authorization. A prescriber meets it when an Oregon health plan requires approval before covering a medication. The plan named at the top reviews the medical rationale, prior drugs tried and supporting clinical records, and issues or extends an authorization.

Who completes it

The prescribing provider completes the whole form: urgency, request type, patient and secondary insurance details, prescriber or servicing provider information, the patient's PCP, medication details, previous drugs and diagnosis codes. The plan's name, address and contact numbers sit in the header block.

Submitting and payment

How to submit it
Send it to the plan named at the top using that plan's fax, email or portal, after confirming the patient's benefits and eligibility as the instructions ask.
Who pays
The instructions note that benefits are subject to eligibility and to the plan terms and conditions in place when services are provided.

Good to know

  • A request is urgent if delay could seriously jeopardize the member's life, health or ability to regain maximum function, or, in a treating physician's opinion, cause unmanageable severe pain.
  • Check whether the request is new, an authorization extension or additional information, and list any existing authorization number.
  • The rationale box asks why a formulary alternative is not acceptable; attach chart notes and supporting labs rather than summarizing them.
  • Suggested attachments are history and physical, lab, radiology and testing results, current symptoms and functional impairments, and treatment history.

Frequently asked questions

Do Oregon health plans have to accept form 440-4992?

Yes. The form is the exhibit to OAR 836-053-1205, the Division of Financial Regulation rule that sets the uniform prescription drug prior authorization request payers must accept in Oregon. The plan's own name, address and contact numbers go in the header so the form reaches the right reviewer.

What drug history does the Oregon uniform prescription PA form ask for?

It asks whether the request is new therapy or a renewal, with the date therapy started for renewals, the route and where the drug is given, and a list of previous drugs tried with dosages. The rationale section then explains why a formulary alternative is not acceptable.
