I work in healthcare. Providers are jumping through too many hoops, at great financial cost, to be able to provide clinically appropriate and medically necessary treatment for their patients. We get a prior authorization, only to have our claims be denied for "no auth." Healthcare decisions should be left to the clinician, not the insurance carrier. The prior authorization process is broken and needs to be overhauled.

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.
