WTF is wrong w/ #Cigna? I got #PriorAuthorizations 4 meds I’ve taken 4Y & paid my portion i got 2? #MaxOutOfPocket.
October, Cigna can’t find 2025 authorization & system only shows last 3M.
Their associate is clueless. She told me 2 pay since they can’t find 25 authorization. FU

Private health insurers use AI to approve or deny care. Soon Medicare will, too. A pilot program testing the use of artificial intelligence to expand prior authorization decisions in Medicare has providers, politicians and researchers asking questions.

Another terrible idea from the Trump administration

I hope #Medicare enrollees in the states affected by this pilot program will make their opinions known about #priorauthorizations by #AI

I see you Prime Therapeutics. The latest trick of going from PA form to pending-denial-now-requiring-a-peer-to-peer is clearly a delaying tactic designed to delay dispensing medications people need. #priorauthorizations #pbmprimetherapeuticsunderhandedtricks

Changing health insurance yet again as a disabled person has made me realize that we need portability of prior authorizations between insurers. Missing medications due to paperwork endangers patients.

5 things I *actually* did this week:
1- worked a ton of OT at the PBM, busting my ass to approve as many #Medicare #PartD RX #priorauthorizations as I possibly could.
2- Took my kid to the doc, stressed over how much all 4 of the tests that they ran would cost. (Even good healthcare is expensive).

Prioritize Prior Authorization Reforms In Medicare Advantage | Health Affairs Forefront Policy makers should continue to provide clear rules of the road, increase transparency, apply more effective oversight, and accelerate the streamlining and modernization of processes.

Today the #NorthDakota Senate will hear on the 11th order #NDSB2280, a bill to require a #legislative management study of the impact of #priorauthorizations imposed on the #NDPERS (state employee benefits) enrollees. In addition, it adds regulations to when an adverse determination can be made.

A good chunk of nurses' resources are spent in getting PA approvals. Resources that are already in severe shortage when in comes to patient care
