🚨 The Cost of Speed: Are Insurance Companies Incentivized to Deny Care? Situations like this are why we're asking everyone to contact their State Legislators to support #PriorAuth reform and vote AYE on #SB516 - share your story here: https://loom.ly/OBZtBY0 In the fast-paced world of healthcare, the pressure on medical directors to meet productivity goals may be compromising patient care. Dr. Debby Day, who served nearly 15 years as a medical director at Cigna, shares her experience of being pushed to work faster—often at the expense of quality decisions. The result?

Dr. Day's story is a stark reminder that the drive for efficiency should never come at the cost of patient lives. California Medical Association #CMADocs #DocsWhoLead #Healthcare #PriorAuthorization
