Join us in urging legislators to put Kentucky patients first and reform the prior authorization process!

KMA supports legislation
that establishes a prior authorization exemption program designed to automatically waive prior auth requirements if a physician has historically been approved for a specific procedure/service most of the time (e.g., 90 percent). A prior authorization exemption program would ensure Kentucky patients have timely access to the care they need, reduce administrative burdens for physicians, and lower healthcare costs.

What Kentucky Physicians Have to Say
About Prior Authorization

  • “Any delay in care adds to the time my patients are in pain because diagnostic and therapeutic procedures are being delayed.”

  • “I have had so many patients denied access to their medications in a timely manner due to need for a PA. Too often, insurers are forcing us to choose a different medication which may not be as beneficial for our patient's health.”

  • “Several times each week I’m forced to change treatment plans from what I consider to be optimal for the patient because of prior auth related denials.”

  • “Elimination of this unnecessary burden would allow me to see and treat more people.”
