Regulatory Burden

Physicians, including neurologists, face growing administrative requirements from the federal government, insurers, and their institutions. Despite the medical community constantly working towards providing more efficient high-quality patient care, they are forced to adhere to many redundant and ineffective processes. Neurologists need relief from overwhelming regulatory requirements, so they may prioritize caring for patients with complex diseases of the brain and nervous system.

The AAN supports reducing physician regulatory and administrative burdens such as prior authorization, step therapy requirements, quality reporting, and other administrative tasks so that neurology providers can spend less time on administrative tasks and more time on patient care.
