I work in a 24-bed Intermediate Care Facility for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities. We haven't been able to provide at least 6 different medications to our clients due to the need for prior authorization. There are 9 medications that we got from our pharmacy, but may have to pay for as a facility pending prior authorization. These are not expensive medications for the most part and are essential for our clients' quality of life!

Share your story

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.
