“The announcement by CMS represents a positive step in the direction of streamlining the prior authorization process,” said Dr. Charles Simone, Chief Medical Officer of the New York Proton Center. “While I greatly commend this advancement, it is important to recognize the existing gaps that necessitate further attention. It is crucial to emphasize the significance of ensuring all patients have access to timely prior authorization processes. The ultimate objective remains a streamlined process that unequivocally prioritizes access to cancer care without undue delays.”
