I am a pediatrician, and I find prior authorizations to be a huge burden to my office's productivity. Additionally, I have experienced significant delays getting my patients the treatments that they need, including life-saving treatments such as epinephrine autoinjectors for anaphylaxis and inhalers for asthma. I also struggle getting medications approved for ADHD, acne, and even some critically important psychiatric medications, leaving patients with severe depression and hallucinations untreated with delays ranging from days to weeks.
