Coverage is determined by the VA's national formulary and specific VACC authorization guidelines, which may differ from commercial or Medicare Advantage plans.
Understanding the VACC Formulary and Myfembree Utilization Management
The VACC program generally aligns with the VA National Formulary (VANF) for medication coverage. For Myfembree, this means adherence to specific utilization management criteria, including diagnostic confirmation and prior treatment failures, as outlined by VA clinical guidelines. Non-formulary requests or exceptions for Myfembree within VACC require submission of comprehensive clinical documentation justifying medical necessity.
