prior authorization

We write to express our strong support for the Prior Authorization Accountability Act (H.R. 9396), which recently passed the Subcommittee on Health on a bipartisan basis.  We thank you for your leadership in advancing meaningful transparency in the prior authorization process and urge Congress to swiftly pass this important legislation. For patients living with HIV, viral hepatitis, and other serious chronic conditions, prior authorization is too often an unnecessary barrier to timely, medically appropriate care. While our organization believes prior authorization should be significantly reduced across the healthcare system, greater transparency is an essential step toward accountability and reform.
