Payer Accountability 

FHA supports fair and equitable payment models that reimburse for the cost of the high–quality care hospitals provide. FHA also opposes harmful, unilateral policy changes by payers that can be implemented without guidance or warning and detract from swift access to health care services.

FHA supports legislation to minimize the burdens associated with the prior authorization process and reduce payer policies that delay care, deny payment, and overburden the health care system.
