Edward Parrish+FollowMedicare’s New Pre-Approval Rule—What?!Traditional Medicare is rolling out prior authorizations for certain treatments in six states starting 2026. This is a big shift—until now, you didn’t need pre-approval for most stuff! The move is meant to crack down on unnecessary care (and wild spending on things like skin substitutes), but it could mean more hoops for patients and providers. Only 17 services are affected for now, but more could be added. Would you want your doctor to get pre-approval before treating you? #Medicare #HealthcareNews #PriorAuthorization #Health #BodyHealth4761Share
Melanie James+FollowHealth Insurers Finally Fixing Annoying Delays?Ever had to wait forever for your insurance to approve a scan or treatment? Major health insurers like UnitedHealthcare and Aetna are finally promising to make prior authorizations less of a nightmare. They say they’ll cut down on paperwork, speed up approvals, and even honor preapprovals when you switch plans. Docs are skeptical, but if this actually happens, it could mean way fewer headaches (and less 'scanxiety') for everyone. Fingers crossed they actually follow through this time! #healthinsurance #priorauthorization #healthcare #Health81Share
