In a letter to the Vermont House of Representatives, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation expressed its support for H. 766, which, if passed, would make several important reforms to the prior authorization process and would require insurers to apply third-party assistance to out-of-pocket maximums and other patient cost-sharing requirements.
