Employers Back Electronic Prior Authorization for Self-Funded Health Plans
Original: Leading Employers Back Expansion of Electronic Prior Authorization to Self-Funded Health Plans
Leading employers are voicing support for extending electronic prior authorization requirements to self-funded health plans, according to a federal health department announcement. The move would require more employer-sponsored plans to use electronic systems for approving medical treatments, a step backers say cuts paperwork and speeds patient care. It signals continued momentum behind streamlining administrative burdens in employer-based health coverage.
Why now: New federal endorsement of expanding e-prior authorization rules is drawing attention from employers and health policy watchers.
