CONGRESS: Memorializes Congress to take action relative to the use of prior authorization processes.

SCR 13 is a Louisiana legislative resolution urging Congress to reform prior authorization practices in healthcare.

The resolution directly addresses patients and healthcare providers in Louisiana who face delays in care due to insurance company requirements. It does not create new law but formally asks Congress to implement specific changes to prioritize patient needs over bureaucratic delays. The resolution passed unanimously in Louisiana's legislature on May 19, 2025.
