Advocacy Update

The Improving Seniors’ Timely Access to Care Act (H.R. 3514) is gaining traction in Congress following sustained advocacy from physicians, patients, and health care organizations.

Momentum is building: The bipartisan legislation now has 290 House cosponsors, signaling broad support and bringing the bill closer to passage in the House.

Where you come in:

  • If your representative has cosponsored the bill (see the full list of sponsors), now is the time to thank them for their leadership via our action alert on the issue.
  • A simple message of appreciation helps reinforce the importance of this issue.
  • If not, urge their support as momentum continues to grow.

Our view: The CAP supports this legislation as a bipartisan effort to improve patient care while reducing unnecessary administrative burden tied to prior authorization.
