Introduction of Sun Life Prior Approval Process

Prior authorization is coming to our drug plan effective February 1, 2020. Prior authorization means getting pre-approval for special or expensive drug treatments that your doctor recommends.

When you or a family member is sick, you need to focus on making the right treatment choices based on reliable information. A talk with your doctor that includes prior authorization for any special or expensive prescription drugs you need is an important step to help you make those choices.
