Lt. Governor Stack Investigation, and Prior Authorization

This week's Pennsylvania Newsmakers features a journalist roundtable with John Micek, Editorial Page Editor for Harrisburg Patriot News/PennLive, and Karen Langley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, who discuss the investigation into the behavior of Lt. Governor Mike Stack and his wife Tonya, and some of the important issues before the state legislature. Then, joining host Terry Madonna is Charles Cutler, MD, President of the Pennsylvania Medical Society, for a discussion of the collaborative agreement between nurse practitioners and physicians, and requests by insurance companies for prior authorizations for medical tests and medications.
