Streamlining the prior authorization process is a must -- @DrOzCMS is spot on!
My popular bipartisan legislation, the Improving Seniors' Timely Access to Care Act, would increase transparency around Medicare Advantage prior authorization and more life-saving measures.
Doctors didn’t go to medical school to be buried in paperwork—and patients shouldn’t wait because of it. We’re modernizing prior authorization: faster decisions, less red tape, more time for care.
