Cover My Meds API

Last reviewed: September 2026

Overview

Integuru provides production-ready HTTP API access to Cover My Meds. The actions listed on this page are currently supported by Integuru.

Cover My Meds is the catalogue name for CoverMyMeds, the McKesson-owned prior authorization network. The seven actions authenticate with your own prescriber or pharmacy CoverMyMeds login and run the prior authorization flow end to end: find the drug and diagnosis, pick the payer's form, start the request, answer the plan's follow-up questions, attach documents and send to the plan.

Does CoverMyMeds have a public API?

CoverMyMeds, a McKesson company, offers a prior authorization API, but only to approved EHR partners through a McKesson integration partnership with no self-serve path and no published timeline. A standalone PA automation tool has no route to it. Integuru's seven Cover My Meds actions authenticate with your own CoverMyMeds login and drive the same PA workflow the web application runs.

The live flow, in order. search_drugs returns the drug_id for a brand or generic name and search_diagnosis returns the ICD-10 code. get_available_forms takes the drug, the payer name as free text and the patient's state and returns the plan's PA forms. start_request opens a request from one of those forms with the patient details and returns a request_key plus the form fields. submit_request fills the fields and saves a draft, or sends to the plan when send_to_plan is true; eligibility is enforced automatically for forms that need it. When the plan replies with follow-up questions, get_plan_questions polls for the new round (plan responses take about 20 seconds) and walks the questions one at a time. upload_document attaches supporting clinical documentation by URL or base64.

What is not live. A status feed across all PAs, a list of pending authorizations and payer determination retrieval outside the question rounds are not in the verified catalog. They are screens in the same dashboard, so the Managed Service can build them for your account; they appear here once verified against live traffic.

Setup Notes

Configure Cover My Meds credentials in Integuru once. Integuru manages authentication and session handling for subsequent API calls.

Pass the form object from get_available_forms to start_request unchanged. submit_request saves a draft by default; set send_to_plan to true to submit. For follow-up rounds, give get_plan_questions a wait_seconds up to 120 so it can wait for the plan's asynchronous reply. Prefer file_url over file_base64 on upload_document for anything larger than a page or two.

Get started

Install the CLI and connect your CoverMyMeds login:

npm install -g integuru

Or sign in at app.integuru.com, add Cover My Meds, and call the same 7 actions from the dashboard. For a PA status feed or determination retrieval this page does not list, the Managed Service scopes and builds it against your account.
