Thank you John Joyce, M.D. for speaking before hundreds of ophthalmologists at #MYF2025 on the prospects for physician payment reform in the 119th Congress.


🙏 Thank you Sen. Marshall Mark Warner Rep. Mike Kelly Suzan DelBene Ami Bera, M.D. @DrJohnJoycePA for championing the #SeniorsAct! Ophthalmologists see daily how prior auth delays harm patients while 80% of denials get overturned on appeal - this reform is overdue! #Fixpriorauth

Prior auth shouldn't delay or determine whether a patient gets their retinal injection or any essential eye care. Grateful to Sen. Marshall Mark Warner & House champions for the Seniors' Act. Tell your lawmakers to act. ow.ly/cc3950VXZBj
