I work in health care, the prior authorization process is very cumbersome. Despite laws prohibiting cancellation or rescinding an auth, carriers do not adhere to these rules. Claims are denied many times in error. Trying to get a prior auth for an unlisted code is even worse.

Please tell us know how prior authorization has impacted you. We are looking for stories from patients and physicians to highlight and draw attention to this issue that is impacting the health of so many Americans.
