Re: GOLD CARD Act of 2022, H.R. 7995

Dear Representatives Burgess and Gonzalez:

The Alliance of Specialty Medicine writes to express support for your legislation, the Getting Over Lengthy Delays in Care As Required by Doctors (GOLD CARD) Act of 2022 (H.R. 7995). The Alliance’s mission is to advocate for sound federal health care policy that fosters patient access to the highest quality specialty care. As patient and physician advocates, the Alliance appreciates that the GOLD CARD Act would improve access to timely medical care by providing a pathway to exempt qualifying physicians from prior authorization requirements under Medicare Advantage (MA) plans.
