ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Prior authorizations (PAs) are intended to control prescription drug expenditures.METHODS:
One hundred fifty-six physician and advanced practice provider members of the American College of Gastroenterology completed a national survey to assess PA burden and impact.RESULTS:
One-half of PA requests relate to prescription refills. Greater than 50% of the respondents choose inferior treatments at least weekly because of perceived PA burden for preferred agents. One-half of the respondents reported a patient who experienced serious adverse events due to PA-related care delays.DISCUSSION:
PA is an administrative burden that exhausts practice resources and may have a negative impact on patient care.
