The prior authorization process can delay care for days, weeks or even months. We need decision-makers to prioritize patients and #FixPriorAuth.

Patients, physicians, and employers can tell their stories here about their experiences with the prior authorization process. It is time consuming and delays care - which can be very harmful to patients. Use this link - fixpriorauth.org. #fixpriorauth

Prior authorization is a health plan requirement that demands physicians obtain approval before a patient's treatment or prescription qualifies for coverage.

Speaking only for me and not my new home at Mayo Clinic, I do not believe it is possible to #fixpriorauth. I believe it needs to be scrapped in favor of a fundamentally different system that actually addresses the concerns prior auth was created to control.

Know what patients who have cancer don’t have time for?!
Dealing with this bullshit.
Absolutely despicable.
Dealing with this bullshit.

UnitedHealth has overcharged some cancer patients for medicine by over 1,000%.
An FTC report finds that OptumRx, United Health's pharmacy benefit manager, has made billions by charging patients a huge markup for life-saving drugs.
