Your action is needed now! Ask your member of Congress to cosponsor the Improving Seniors’ Timely Access to Care Act (Seniors' Act) (S.1816/HR.3514).

The reintroduced bill overcomes a major hurdle to passage by lowering its cost to the federal government from $16 billion to almost zero. Led by Senators Roger Marshall, MD (R-KS) and Mark Warner (D-VA), and Reps. Suzan DelBene (D-WA), Mike Kelly (R-PA), John Joyce, MD (R-PA), and Ami Bera, MD (D-CA), the bill requires Medicare Advantage plans to adopt common-sense prior authorization practices like electronic transmission and shorter timelines for making coverage decisions.

WHY NOW: The bill would provide administrative relief for physicians and help prevent delays in care that cause significant distress for patients in need of timely treatment. This is a unique opportunity to secure bipartisan common sense prior authorization reform for the future and NOW is the time to make a difference.
