“Our volunteer Ashley Love Sumrall shared how recent increases in prior auth requirements are delaying care and raising anxiety for patients with cancer.
ASCO Advocacy is encouraged by today’s agreement, but more must be done to FixPriorAuth.

All eyes are on today’s announcement from insurers and Mehmet Oz. We expect progress.
Our advocacy matters.”
