Insurance Question

Insurance Question
I am curious how some kids get approved to use medicines not yet approved for pediatric crohns? My son did not respond to Remicade. Our doctor suggested Skyrizi or Stelara. We went with Skyrizi. Our medical insurance approved Skyrizi infusions. Now that it is time for injections, the pharmacy insurance did not authorize the injections- reasoning my son is under 18. Our doctor appealed, and we are waiting. Is there anything i can do to push the insurance?
