SAIM Patient Prior Authorization Survey

Background: The SAIM Patient Prior Authorization Survey aims to gather detailed insights from patients regarding their experiences and challenges with the prior authorization process. Prior authorization is a requirement by health insurers for patients to obtain approval before receiving certain medical services, treatments, or medications. This survey seeks to understand the impact of prior authorization on access to care, identify the most burdensome aspects, and explore potential solutions to improve the process. The collected data will be used to inform policy recommendations and advocate for more efficient and patient-centered prior authorization practices.
