As part of health insurance providers’ long-standing commitment to the 2018 Consensus Statement on Improving the Prior Authorization Process, AHIP surveyed health insurance providers on the use and impact of Gold Carding programs with a focus on how these programs impact patient care. New research conducted by AHIP finds that the use of gold carding has increased since 2020 – and gold carding programs are most effective when they are used selectively and are continually reevaluated to ensure patients are receiving the high-quality care they deserve.
