Thank you Alexander Battu Stockton The New York Times for covering this important topic. The #PriorAuthorization system
results in unnecessary delays in care, fuels burnout, and is NOT what is in the best interest of our patients. We must work to #FixThePriorAuth

#PriorAuthorization goes directly against the standards of care and keeps GI patients from receiving necessary treatments and screening for GI conditions like #IBD , Joseph Feuerstein writes in MedCity News. It's time to reign in insurer overreach! 📰🔗: ow.ly/ofa650RaUKz.
How many of us have spent precious time fighting an insurance company to approve necessary treatment while medical care is delayed or denied?
We need to abolish #PriorAuthorization .

Just went thru a #PriorAuthorization nightmare for PT after knee surgery. My 2-week delay (+hours on phone w/insurance & nurses) won't have permanent impact. But the patients in this video were irrevocably harmed. Thanks The New York Times & Alexander Battu Stockton for exposing this medical abuse.
