33% of physicians report that #PriorAuthorization led to a serious adverse event for a patient in their care – with 9% reporting it's led to permanent bodily damage, disability or death. On July 11, #CaLeg has a chance to #FixPrior auth by passing #SB598! healthcarefinancenews.com/news/ninety-fo…

#PriorAuthorization causes unnecessary delays in diagnosing and treating diseases like cancer - where time is a critical factor. #SB598 by Sen Nancy Skinner will allow patients to receive the treatment they need, when they need it. On July 11, vote AYE on #SB598. #CaLeg
