🚨NEWS: This week, my legislation, the "Improving Seniors' Timely Access to Care Act," reached 290 co-sponsors in the U.S. House -- an overwhelming bipartisan supermajority.
This legislation puts patient care and patient outcomes first, and it will greatly modernize and streamline the prior authorization process.

Thank you @SenHydeSmith for your Senate floor speech on the harms of prior auth. We appreciate your support of the ASCO-endorsed Seniors’ Act and Safe Step Act to reduce utilization management burdens to get care to patients faster. #FixPriorAuth #ASCOAdvocacy
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.

Ken Jones' story is a heartbreaking reminder that prior authorization is not just paperwork. Delays and denials affect real patients, like you. Join our fight to #FixPriorAuth

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

Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D.
Tanya Albert Henry | @AmerMedicalAssn: "AMA adds more to its game plan to fix prior authorization." #AMAmtg #FixPriorAuth buff.ly/cKQN2aJ

It’s true. This is also one big topic of discussion at our currently ongoing #AMAmtg @AmerMedicalAssn #advocacy I encourage my colleagues to get involved… be a part of the solution. #fixpriorauth
As a physician who has served patients for 35 years, I am sickened by the unconscionable practices of health insurance companies that continually place profits above patient care.
Prior authorization, in particular, is being abused to prop up profits and deny care to those who need it.

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

Voluntary insurer promises? We’ve seen this movie before — and patients are still stuck waiting.
The Washington Committee joins the Regulatory Relief Coalition in calling for real accountability. Seniors, patients with disabilities, and veterans enrolled in Medicare Advantage deserve the full force of the law... not another pinky swear.
Read the @RegRelief press release and help us urge Congress to pass the Seniors Act (S 1816/HR 3514)! #FixPriorAuth👇
