Thirteen House Democrats introduced eight bills to limit Medicare Advantage abuses, curb denials and overcharging, and strengthen protections and choice in traditional Medicare.

Patients can overturn prior authorization denials by understanding their insurance type, documenting medical necessity, following appeal procedures, and persistently challenging insurer decisions.

Prior authorization denials are common, difficult to appeal, and require persistent, informed pushback to obtain provider-recommended treatments.
