Aimed Alliance sent a letter supporting New York Senate Bill 4867, which aims to prohibit the use of prior authorization and step therapy protocols for diagnosing and treating serious mental illnesses (SMIs). Conditions like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, and PTSD require prompt, individualized care, but these administrative barriers often delay or interrupt access to essential treatments. By removing these obstacles, S.4867 would help ensure that individuals with SMIs receive the most effective medications without unnecessary delays. Read the letter.
