Your insurance approved it. Then they took it back.
That used to be legal. In 2026, the rules finally changed — but that doesn’t mean the fight is over.
Medicare Advantage prior authorization denial rates have jumped 56% in recent years. Treatments approved one day could be reversed the next. Seniors were denied care they were legally entitled to — sometimes without even knowing they had the right to appeal.
New 2026 rules now require:
Decisions on urgent requests within 72 hours
Standard requests answered within 7 days
Approved treatments must be honored — no more reversed approvals
This is progress. But navigating these systems still takes someone who knows the rules, knows the language, and knows how to push back.
That’s what our Board-Certified Patient Advocates do every single day — for seniors, for families, and for anyone who’s ever felt lost in the system.
