Seniors shouldn’t have to fight insurers for timely care. Urge Congress to #PassTheSeniorsAct and reform MA prior authorization. #FixPriorAuth

We are grateful to @SenHydeSmith for cosponsoring the #SeniorsAct. Her support is invaluable as we work together to improve access to care for seniors across the country.#PassTheSeniorsAct
Patients across the country are waiting days, weeks, or even months for care their doctor already prescribed. And too often, it’s still denied.
Today, I urged the Senate to pass bipartisan legislation to stop insurance companies from standing between patients and the care they need.

The time is NOW for Congress to pass the no-cost #SeniorsAct. Backed by the entire health care community, this commonsense reform will help seniors get better care and real-time answers from insurers. #FixPriorAuth

ICYMI: @bradwenstrup may have left Congress, but one of neurosurgery’s strongest champions is still fighting for patients.
In his latest op-ed, the physician and former Congressman calls attention to the growing burden of prior authorization and insurance delays that stand between patients and medically necessary care.
Congress has an opportunity to act. The Improving Seniors’ Timely Access to Care Act would bring long-overdue transparency, accountability, and modernization to the Medicare Advantage prior authorization process. #fixpriorauth

Streamlining the prior authorization process is a must -- @DrOzCMS is spot on!
My popular bipartisan legislation, the Improving Seniors' Timely Access to Care Act, would increase transparency around Medicare Advantage prior authorization and more life-saving measures.
Doctors didn’t go to medical school to be buried in paperwork—and patients shouldn’t wait because of it. We’re modernizing prior authorization: faster decisions, less red tape, more time for care.
The 1980s called—we’re sending the fax back. Here’s the latest on our reform efforts, with more to come: cms.gov/newsroom/blog/moving…

This is the reality many medical practices are facing today.
Our latest 2026 MGMA Regulatory Burden Report shows how growing administrative demands and payment pressures are straining practices, fueling burnout, and diverting time from patient care.
MGMA is using member testimonies and firsthand experiences like this to push for meaningful regulatory relief and sustainable payment policy.
