Prior Authorization Gold Card Clean up

On Wednesday, April 9, the House Committee on Insurance heard testimony on HB 3812, which would clean up the 2021 prior authorization gold card law.

The Ask

Neurosurgeons are encouraged to reach out to members of the House Committee on Insurance to ask them to pass HB 3812 out of committee.

Comments to share with lawmakers:

• Please pass HB 3812.
• Tell them that you are a neurosurgeon in their district.
• The prior authorization gold card is important because it ensures that patients do not face unnecessary delays for their care.
• HB 3812 is important because it will enhance the gold card to ensure that physicians properly receive the gold card.
