Prior authorization is a process used by insurance companies to determine whether a medical treatment, procedure, or medication is covered under a patient’s insurance plan. It involves a review of the medical necessity of the treatment or procedure, as well as the appropriateness of the proposed course of treatment. 
 

Delays in prior authorization in health care can cause several issues for patients and providers. 

Issues include:
Delays in Treatment
Inadequate Patient Care
Additional Burdensome Paperwork
Patient Dissatisfaction

Prior authorization needs reform to eliminate unnecessary paperwork and delays. Please ask your senator to support LB 77.
