ProPublica is launching an investigation into how health insurers use prior authorization and its impact on patients. The newsroom is asking the public to share experiences of denied or delayed care, aiming to determine whether the process still leads to treatment delays and harm. Readers can submit their insurance denial stories to help guide the reporting.
