We are thrilled to see the new Prior Authorization and Accreditation (PAFA) Program, a Canadian non-profit, gain recognition in the February 4th, 2025 online article from Josh Welsh at Benefits and Pensions Monitor. The article is based on the January 23, 2025 PAFA webinar – What’s New in Prior Authorization: Making it Better.
The conversation around prior authorization (PA) reform is shifting—and that’s something to celebrate. Patients, physicians, patient support programs, specialty pharmacy, and payers continue to struggle with lengthy administration and approval processes, which mean delays in access to life changing and sometimes life saving specialty medications.
In their article, Benefits and Pensions Monitor highlights the significant progress being made by PAFA and others to encourage payers to adopt more efficient processes and recognize those who do through PAFA.
Industry Recognition: A Step Toward Meaningful Change
Just a few years ago, discussions about digitizing and standardizing PA processes were met with skepticism. Now insurers and stakeholders alike recognize the need for change. The shift in attitude is undeniable, and we’re proud to be part of the movement making this a reality.
At PAFA we are committed to working collaboratively with payers to encourage improvements in prior authorization processes and provide recognition to those who do adopt change through our accreditation program.
