SB 1380 Oppose One-Pager – Blanket Prior Auth Bans Jeopardize Safety and Oversight
SB 1380 would eliminate critical clinical review tools by banning prior authorization (PA) across a wide swath of medical services—including cancer treatments and pediatric care—disrupting established safety guardrails and exposing patients to unnecessary or even dangerous interventions. While TAHP supports smarter, streamlined PA reforms like goldcarding, this bill goes too far, creating risks for vulnerable populations and limiting health plans’ ability to ensure medically necessary care. Read our SB 1380 one-pager to learn how the proposal overlooks evidence-based care practices and puts patient safety at risk.
