The Independent: How Prior Authorizations Are Affecting Oncology Care

Dr. Amar Rewari was recently interviewed by The Independent to discuss how prior authorization delays are impacting patients and straining oncology practices across the country. In the feature, which was also amplified by AOL, Dr. Rewari highlights how insurance red tape acts as a dangerous barrier to care for patients facing aggressive diseases. He explains that insurers frequently push back on essential orders like PET scans and MRIs, causing enormous patient stress and delaying critical treatments. Stressing that any delay risks worse outcomes and reduces the likelihood of a cure, Dr. Rewari advocates for urgent reform to this broken system—an important conversation he also explores in depth on Episode 3 of the Value Health Voices Podcast.
