Prior authorization puts a large administrative burden on physicians. AWIR supports uniformed prior authorization legislation that: (1) requires insurers to use the uniform prior authorization form, adopted by the Department of Insurance, for prescription medications, medical treatments and procedures; (2) requires the form to be electronically accessible and able to be submitted electronically; (3) deem authorization granted if an insurer fails to respond to or accept the uniform prior authorization form within 5 business days or, for urgent requests, 1 business day upon receipt of a request.
