Which statement describes the MULT exception?

Which statement describes the MULT exception?

• A. More than one exception is attached to a prescription
• B. Single exception
• C. No exceptions
• D. A required prior authorization

Answer: (A)

The MULT exception means there are multiple override reasons attached to the same prescription. In Intercom Plus, exceptions explain why a prescription doesn’t meet the usual coverage or dispensing rules and may require special handling. When you see MULT, you know more than one exception is active, so you should review all of them together to determine the required action—whether that’s seeking approval, contacting the prescriber, or considering alternative therapy. A single exception would indicate only one override reason, while no exceptions means the prescription fits standard rules. A prior authorization is one type of exception, but MULT specifically flags that there are several exceptions at once.
