BILL NUMBER: A9407 PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To prohibit prior authorization for oncology care which has previously been authorized and complies with National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines with Categories of Evidence and Consensus 1 or 2A as evidence-based standards of care.
Proud of the New York State Assembly for introducing this bill which bans #priorAuth for any cancer rx w/ a NCCN level 1 or 2A rec. This would be a meaningful step to #FixPriorAuth. 💊 ☢️

#Priorauthorization #UtilizationManagement for costly 2nd-line 💊 is understandable but nearly one-half of plans have quantity limits for generic ondansetron, a cheap ($16 for 60 8mg tabs) & effective 1st-line drug

Original Investigation | Health Policy Patient Perspectives on Prior Authorization for Cancer Care Bridgette Thom, PhD 2,3; Sonia Persaud, MPHA; Lauren V. Ghazal, PhD, RN, FNP-BCS : Fumiko Chino, MD6 » Author Affiliations | Article Information — RELATED ARTICLES iM FIGURES SUPPLEMENTAL CONTENT Additional Contributions: The author team acknowledges Ivy B. Elkins, MBA, EGFR Resisters, for her contributions to this analysis through her integral input on survey design, data collection, and data interpretation. Ms Elkins died June 23, 2024. Key Points Question How do patients with cancer describe their experiences with prior authorization for cancer care? Findings In this qualitative study of 89 participants, 4 interconnected themes emerged from the responses to an open-ended text prompt: blinded navigation, intersecting burdens, interference with care, and a broken system. Themes described patients' perspectives that prior authorization is a confusing process that adds to the adminis-trative, psychosocial, and financial burdens of cancer care. Meaning These findings suggest that prior authorization processes can lead to negative outcomes for patients, and efforts toward health insurance reform must be inclusive of the patient voice.

The patient voice is essential. Ms Ivy Elkins was an incredible advocate & vital contributor to science. I was proud to have worked with her & glad this patient-centered work continues on in her honor.
