There's a lot of dollars floating around in the Medicare system. This is just one of the ways they've come up with to siphon some off for them own selves. I have little doubt we'll see some other unprecedented "reforms" coming out of CMS under the guise of "improving" care.

Strangely, just a couple months ago wasn't Oz talking about the evils of prior authorization and how insurance companies needed to cut the red tape? And now they turn around and add it to a system that has been doing fine with very limited use of prior authorization?

Nothing adds up with these crooks.
