CMS finalizes prior authorization rule; hospital event highlights need for rule: ow.ly/qqqa50QrU4w #AHAToday

I am fortunate to be part of a team creating change in health care and helping providers put time back into direct patient care. I am also so grateful for the support shown today for CMSGov prior authorization policies!

Today was an impactful day - hearing directly from patients & providers about the challenges of prior authorization is tough because their stories are real and relatable. It is also motivating, because we have so much opportunity for collaboration and improvement moving forward.

Woo! Thank you for all the support. I am honored to be a Changemaker in Health and I am so grateful for all the amazing folks who shape health policy for the good of patients (and everyone, really… we’re all patients after all).

This Change Healthcare hack causes real issues for those who rely on manufacturer coupons for expensive medications, especially rare disease patients. Just paid $1260 at the pharmacy because Change powers all the manufacturer coupons and it has been down for 10 days.

There’s just so much packed into this one statement…

These two amazing women here with me make the world a better place. Lisa Bari Kat Kovalchik McDavitt

It’s going to be 🔥
