In our recent member survey, 99% of respondents expressed that prior authorization has a negative impact on patients’ access to clinically appropriate treatments. We need to continue to put pressure on legislators to eliminate prior authorization burdens.

AGA endorses the Improving Seniors Timely Access to Care Act, which would streamline the prior authorization process in Medicare Advantage by approving in real-time commonly approved services and implementing a standardized electronic prior authorization process.

Despite large bipartisan support, we need your help getting this bill across the finish line! Please take five minutes to ask your Representative to cosponsor this necessary bill by participating in our campaign.
