Survey: MA enrollees more likely to report care delays due to prior authorization
People enrolled in Medicare Advantage are more likely than those in traditional Medicare to report delays in care due to needed insurance approvals, according to a survey released Feb. 22 by the Commonwealth Fund, with 13% of traditional Medicare enrollees reporting associated delays compared with 22% of MA enrollees. The survey also included findings related to wait time to see a doctor, beneficiary use of supplemental benefits and overall coverage satisfaction.
