A recent analysis by the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) reveals that health insurers denied a significant portion of prior authorization requests for treatments and procedures across Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, and ACA Marketplace plans. Insurers denied between 12% and 18% of standard requests last year, with denial rates varying by insurer and plan type. The report highlights that a substantial percentage of these denials are overturned upon appeal, suggesting potential issues with the initial review process. AI
