Congressional Briefing: Addressing Barriers to Patient Access in Dermatological Care

​Join the Derma Care Access Network and the Coalition of Skin Diseases for a panel discussion to examine federal policy challenges that limit patient access to medically necessary treatments, with a focus on the misclassification of skin conditions and insurance utilization management practices.

​Panelists will discuss the need for federal action to modernize coverage guidance for conditions such as vitiligo and alopecia areata and ensure consistency across federal health programs, as well as the impacts of copay accumulator programs and burdensome step therapy requirements on patient care.
