Hey #MedSky I'm writing a long-form piece on how bad prior authorization has become, and how burdensome it is on patients and docs. Can you share:

—etc
(And please share this post)

Merry Christmas, everyone, even Regence BlueCross BlueShield of Utah @regenceutah.bsky.social, who is currently denying coverage of a cancer drug for my wife's breast cancer treatment. You are the Scrooge/Grinch in this Christmas story. But you can have a change of heart. You can be different. 💗
