Medicare’s New Pre-Approval Rule—What?!

Traditional Medicare is rolling out prior authorizations for certain treatments in six states starting 2026. This is a big shift—until now, you didn’t need pre-approval for most stuff! The move is meant to crack down on unnecessary care (and wild spending on things like skin substitutes), but it could mean more hoops for patients and providers. Only 17 services are affected for now, but more could be added. Would you want your doctor to get pre-approval before treating you? #Medicare #HealthcareNews #PriorAuthorization #Health #BodyHealth
