Share your experiences with delays or disruption to treatments
Have you experienced step therapy, prior authorization, or non-medical switching, and has it delayed you from accessing a necessary treatment? If so, the Academy wants to hear from you. The Academy advocacy team is active all year long in advocating for patients to have access to effective and affordable treatments.
Why share your story?
For example, each legislative session several states consider step therapy, prior authorization, or stable patient legislation, and the state policy team needs your help to ensure the states adopt these bills. By writing about your own personal experience with delayed access to treatment below and sending it to the AAD, it will help us advocate for your respective state to enact this important legislation.
Also, please send us your contact information if you would be interested in testifying before your respective state legislature. It is important for state lawmakers to hear your stories!
