Insurers say prior authorization helps control costs by preventing medically unnecessary care, but patients say the process can delay or deny access to needed treatments.

    I love needing to get ‘prior’ authorization once a year to continue taking the same medication I have taken for the last decade.

    No, I don’t want to try the ones that don’t work again just because they look similar on your spreadsheet.

      What I like is having to get “prior authorization” for an antidepressant that I’ve been taking for years, and then I run out because it’s the weekend and nobody can get hold of anybody for anything.
