ACT NOW: Gov. Abbott Must Sign HB 3459 This Week
We need your help to get important legislation signed into law. Please act now.
Don't let the health plans get their way. They want Governor Greg Abbott to veto House Bill 3459 that would reduce health insurance prior authorizations for many Texas physicians. Specifically, the bill will allow physicians to earn a “gold card” out of the prior authorization process for certain services if they demonstrate a high percentage of prior auth approvals for those services. Also, HB 3459 requires utilization reviews to be conducted by a Texas-licensed physician in the same or similar specialty as the patient’s physician.
