The screen will apply to all claims for compound drugs, including pediatric compounds, to ensure they are safe, effective and medically necessary. Most traditional pediatric compounds contain ingredients known to be safe and effective, so they will pass the electronic screen with no delay to the beneficiary.                                 If a prescription does not pass the initial screen, the pharmacist can contact the prescribing provider to discuss substituting an approved ingredient, getting a different prescription, or submitting a prior authorization request.
