Approve additional supportive drugs

After you approve a treatment plan and the patient begins treatment, the provider may modify the treatment plan to include additional supportive drugs. For example, the patient experiences nausea after the first treatment, and the provider prescribes anti-nausea drugs.

If the provider adds supportive drugs to an existing treatment plan, we verify the new drugs, send you a notification email, and the treatment plan appears on your dashboard. This is an updated version of the existing treatment plan; it is not a new treatment plan. The date that the provider added the supportive drugs appears in the Drug Revision column of the treatment plan.

We handle requests for supportive drugs exactly as we handle requests for treatment plans. We either recommend approval or denial, or request your approval. The treatment plan detail displays the new drug and the approved or rejected date. The following example indicates that we reviewed the treatment plan on 8/22/2018 and that we recommend approval.
