Advocacy — Step therapy win in California


Illustration for Advocacy — Step therapy win in California

California strengthens your patients’ access to care

With your help, the AADA successfully advocated for step therapy legislation in California that would improve existing law around step therapy protocols.

The California Assembly and Senate unanimously passed legislation that will:

  • Require a shorter timeframe for insurance companies to decide on step therapy appeals.

  • Guarantee approvals for the duration of the prescription and refills if the insurance company fails to take action after the specified timeframe.
