Prior Authorization Should be a Top Concern for Pharma — Here’s Why
If your organization could benefit from an updated PA mindset, these two resources from our sister organization, Valuate Health Consultancy, may help:
-
- In the latest episode of The IDI podcast from Valuate, Senior Principal John Hennessy and Syam Palakurthy, CEO of SamaCare, explain why prior authorization is truly a manufacturer challenge. “If you want to have your product used by patients, you better care about prior authorization because it is probably the single biggest access barrier we know of,” Hennessy says.
Adds Palakurthy, “There’s a bit of fatalism with pharmaceutical manufacturers. Sometimes, we hear from manufacturers, and they’ll say, ‘The provider is the one who has to solve that, or there’s nothing we can do to help it. But there is a lot that the manufacturer can do as long as they’re working inside the prior authorization workflow.”

- Hennessy also wrote this informative POV on prior authorization for pharma manufacturers, where he explains why pharma should care so much about PAs, how they can work to streamline PA transactions, and how four best practices can help more patients access the products they’re prescribed. He also debunks five PA myths and provides action items for market access teams to address their PA concerns.
