I have the gene that makes my cholesterol go extremely high and diet or exercise won’t help. I cannot take statins. I have tried it all. The only medicine that I can take is Repatha. I have been trying since this last October to get my Repatha refill…I am still in the waiting process; my cholesterol is now high again from the waiting game because of this prior authorization. These prior authorizations are putting people at high unnecessary health risks. Please help to put a stop to this method.

Have you ever gone to the pharmacy to fill a prescription only to be told that your insurance company requires approval before they'll cover your treatment? Have you ever waited for days, weeks or months for a test or medical procedure to be scheduled because you needed authorization from an insurer? Or are you a physician frustrated with the administrative headaches and their impact on your patients?

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.
