- New: Health care affordability is a big concern for people. But, don't underestimate the complexity of our health insurance system as a burden, especially prior authorization. www.kff.org/public-opini...
- Medicare Advantage insurers made 53 million prior authorization determinations in 2024. That's an average of 1.7 determinations per enrollee. It's no wonder patients, physicians, and hospitals find the system burdensome and complex. www.kff.org/medicare/med...
