“Health insurers say they want to improve a process called prior authorization that doctors and patients often dread for the delays it can impose on care.
Here’s our The Associated Press story.”
ASCO shared this post, adding:
“Our volunteer Ashley Love Sumrall shared how recent increases in prior auth requirements are delaying care and raising anxiety for patients with cancer.
ASCO Advocacy is encouraged by today’s agreement, but more must be done to FixPriorAuth.
Ashley Love Sumrall, Section Chief of Neuro-Oncology at the Atrium Health Levine Cancer, shared ASCO’s post, adding:
“We owe it to our patients to remove barriers to their care.
