Abstract

Biologics represent some of the most effective treatment options for moderate-severe psoriasis. However, insurance approvals and need for prior authorizations continue to cause barriers for many patients. We sought to determine whether race/ethnicity, insurance type, and provider specialty (ie, dermatology or rheumatology) affects biologic approval times. Records from the University of Miami were reviewed. 67 patients were included. The need for prior authorization was significantly associated with longer waits (7 days) and 38% of Caucasians experienced a long wait.
