Prior Authorization is the new “Pre-Existing Condition”. May whoever dreamt this up rot in hell.

Working as a pharmacy tech who deals with prior authorizations all the time and interacting with insurances, its honestly insane how an insurance can ask so many questions about the use of this medication and it can be denied if a question is answered no. A doctor knows their patient more than the insurance companies and their pharmacist who reviews these requests. Its honestly insane.

"sorry premera, it was very inconsiderate of me to not ask for pre-authorization for being hit by a car. It's entirely understandable you refuse my care and I will just walk off the broken ribs and hip."

I promise you, if you can sue an insurance company and get all their records, you will see plenty of emails saying something to the effect of, " Just deny it, what are they gonna do lol."
