Tell Congress to support prior auth reform now

May 19, 2023

Democrat and Republican House leaders will be sending letters to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) urging the agency to finalize rules that streamline and increase transparency in the prior auth process. Send a message to your elected representative asking them to sign the bipartisan letter led by Reps. Suzan DelBene (D-Wash.), Mike Kelly (R-Penn.), Ami Bera, MD, (D-Calif.) and Larry Bucshon, MD, (R-Ind.) urging CMS to make sure any prior auth reform rules include all portions of the Improving Seniors’ Timely Access to Care legislation. There is a similar letter led by Sens. John Thune (R-S.Dak.) and Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio). To read more and become an ASTRO advocate, visit https://www.astro.org/Advocacy/Become-an-Advocate.
