Health Can't Wait Prior Authorization Hearing Scheduled

January 30, 2020 - Lansing, Michigan

Prior authorization and step therapy/fail first requirements hamstring treatment, drive up non-adherence to medication and lead to diminished health. It’s onerous and needless insurance company bureaucracy, and it’s negatively affecting patients, physicians, providers and their practices.

It’s time we cut out the red tape, because at the end of the day, health can’t wait!

State lawmakers recently introduced SB 612, a bill that reforms the prior authorization and step therapy/fail first process by introducing new transparency, fairness and clinical validity requirements, ensuring our patients receive timely coverage decisions, and ultimately, the care and treatment they need.

The hearing is scheduled for January 30th at 1:00 pm in Lansing.  Our mission to enact real and meaningful change officially starts in this hearing room. We must do everything we can to demonstrate that we are a large, powerful and prepared force. Having you in the room WILL make a difference.
