"In 2024, my husband was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive cancer. ... We needed to know whether the cancer had spread because that answer could change the treatment plan... A prior authorization request for a scan that would provide that answer was submitted to our insurance company.
It was denied."
Our Crossroads4Hope CEO, Amy Sutton, shared her personal story - one that too many people may also face when navigating an often-complex maze of care and coverage.
When the answer could mean the difference between treatment options, a denial can feel like more than a roadblock - it can feel like a race against time.
Who should have the final say – the doctors providing the care or the insurance company giving the coverage?
At Crossroads4Hope, we’re here to help you find answers, access support, and make sure you never have to face cancer alone.
Thank you to NJ.com for sharing Amy's story, our mission here at Crossroads4Hope, and bringing this vital topic to the forefront. https://www.nj.com/opinion/2026/08/my-husbands-cancer-didnt-wait-our-insurance-company-did.html
