Insurance companies and private equity do not belong in our healthcare
Prior authorization is a polite name for letting an insurance company overrule your doctor.
Your doctor examined you, read your history, and wrote the prescription.
Then someone who has never met you decides you should try the cheaper drug first, the one your doctor already said will not work.
Every delay, every denial, every hour you spend on hold is more time the claim does not get paid.
That is not a glitch in the system.
It is how the system makes money.
They call it cost control.
It is really care control.
If an insurer wants to make medical decisions, it can examine the patient first, like the doctor it is overruling.
