What Kentucky Physicians Have to Say
About Prior Authorization

  • “Any delay in care adds to the time my patients are in pain because diagnostic and therapeutic procedures are being delayed.”

  • “I have had so many patients denied access to their medications in a timely manner due to need for a PA. Too often, insurers are forcing us to choose a different medication which may not be as beneficial for our patient's health.”

  • “Several times each week I’m forced to change treatment plans from what I consider to be optimal for the patient because of prior auth related denials.”

  • “Elimination of this unnecessary burden would allow me to see and treat more people.”
