Dear Administrator Chiquita Brooks-LaSure:

The Regulatory Relief Coalition (RRC) is pleased to have the opportunity to comment on the 2025 Medicare Advantage (MA) Proposed Rule. The RRC is a coalition of national physician specialty organizations seeking to reduce regulatory burdens that interfere with patient care. Our recent activities focus on ensuring that utilization review policies are not a barrier to timely and equitable access to care for the patients we serve. The 2025 MA Proposed Rule includes several provisions related to prior authorization (PA) of interest to the RRC.
