(1) A physician-patient relationship is paramount and should not be subject to third-party intrusion; and
(2) Prior authorizations can place attempted cost savings ahead of optimal patient care.
(b) The General Assembly intends for this subchapter to:
(1) Ensure that prior authorizations do not hinder patient care or intrude on the practice of medicine; and
