Fumiko Ladd Chino: Prior authorization can feel like an unfair game they are designed to lose

Fumiko Ladd Chino, Attending in Radiation Oncology at MD Anderson Cancer Center, shared a post on X:

“For both patients and providers, prior authorization can feel like an unfair game they are designed to lose.

Honored to work with Dr Nathan Gray on a graphic op-ed out now USA TODAY on how prior authorization can leave some patients literally dying in pain.”
