Season 2, Ep #24 – The Data Made Me Do It: Dr. Oz on Prior Auth — and AMGA's Reform Agenda

In this week’s episode, the AMGA policy team break down our recently sent letter to HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and share what Dr. Oz said during Health Care Value Week. The conversation covers the real cost of prior authorization burdens, why automated patient portal notifications are causing harm, and why Congress must act to make pandemic-era telehealth flexibilities permanent. The team also digs into the long-term decline in inflation-adjusted physician payment, the case for eliminating the outdated Medicare skilled nursing facility three-day rule, and what recent CMS moves could mean for the future of Advanced APMs and coordinated care. Hear what the administration is saying and where AMGA is pushing back.
