Tell Your Lawmaker to Prevent Prior Authorization Trial for Traditional Medicare

Tue, 19 Aug 2025 04:00:00 GMT

Tell your members of Congress to prevent the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (CMS) 2026 trial for Traditional Medicare prior authorization. CMS has identified six states - Arizona, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas and Washington - for the prior authorization trial to begin on January 1, 2026. Unless CMS’ “Wasteful and Inappropriate Service Reduction” (WISeR) trial is prevented by Congress, it is likely CMS will implement prior authorization in all states after the 2026 trial. Therefore, it is important to take action now to urge your members of Congress to prevent the 2026 trial.
