Just another means for insurance companies to save money by preventing our doctors from prescribing the care needed. (Or delaying it so death comes first). My sister was fine until she tripped during a nighttime visit to the bathroom. She broke her ankles and the insurance company has denied every request her doctor has made for every test. She is now unable to walk.

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.
