Aetna is bundling all cancer care prior authorizations into a single upfront request, replacing the average of four separate submissions providers previously had to file per patient. The program launched for Medicaid members in eight states on September 1 and is set to expand to Medicare and commercial plans in the first half of 2027. The move aims to reduce treatment delays and ease the administrative burden on oncology providers.
