A troubling disconnect between medical expertise and insurance mandates is putting patients' health at risk. Policies like step therapy and prior authorization are forcing individuals into treatments not recommended by their doctors—often with devastating consequences. In this episode, we hear from a patient who endured months of suffering due to her insurer's 'fail-first' requirements. We also talk with a doctor navigating this impossible system and a biotech leader fighting to ensure innovative treatments reach the patients who need them most.
