My experience with prior authorizations, like that of so many Americans, has been horrendous to say the least. I have literally waited an entire week for simple medications ... It has proven absolutely detrimental to getting proper medical treatment and has negatively impacted my own personal recovery many times over. It has gotten so far out of control that even a simple antibiotic such as 'Amoxicillin' now requires prior authorizations and it's even in its generic form!?!
