Peggy Tighe was recently quoted in MedPage Today discussing renewed congressional momentum behind the bipartisan Improving Seniors’ Timely Access to Care Act, legislation designed to streamline prior authorization requirements in Medicare Advantage. In the article, “It Has Wide Support and Costs Nothing. Can This Prior Auth Bill Pass Congress?” Peggy shares her perspective on the bill’s outlook and the ongoing effort to reduce administrative barriers that can delay patient care.
Peggy is the legislative counsel for the Regulatory Relief Coalition (RRC), a group of national physician specialty organizations advocating for regulatory burden reduction in Medicare so that physicians can spend more time treating patients.
