I went to medical school to treat cancer, blast kidney stones, and help patients enjoy their sex lives.

You went to medical school to help insurance companies deny patients life-saving care.

We are not the same.

“Peer to peer“ my ass.

Here's a link to my weekly Substack post Employer Coverage. I discuss the implications for employers of the results of residency matching, insulin price cuts, pushback against prior authorization, and the continuing decrease in COVID-19 risk.

This @washingtonpost article about #PriorAuthorization battles really hit home. Living with #Type1Diabetes, I’ve dealt with this way too often. But that $21.6 billion in lost productivity incurred by those of us living with chronic medical conditions is sickening. I loathe to think of how much of my life I’ve lost not to my disease, but to time I’ve spent dealing with insurance and administrative crap. https://www.washingtonpost.com/wellness/2023/01/30/high-priced-drugs-step-insurance-policies/

Breaking down the pain of prior authorizations: a physician's perspective

As a physician, I've had the opportunity to delve into the world of medical management, including the much-dreaded process of prior authorizations. While it may be a thorn in the side of many of my colleagues, my experience has given me a unique perspective on the subject.

I also review data that shows that remote workers invest a over 1/3 of the time they save by not commuting in their job. @nberpubs

It's been a few days, but here's another #MedMastodon #Andor meme

#Healthcare #Insurance #PriorAuthorization #oncology

#MedMastodon #Andor meme of the day. I'm apparently sticking with the #healthcare #insurance #PriorAuthorization theme again today😂

I took a few days off, but back at it tonight with the daily #MedMastodon #Andor memes

#PriorAuthorization #Insurance hell, #oncology version:

#MedMastodon #Andor image of the day:

Insurance companies #PriorAuthorization any time a physician prescribes a medication or orders any kind of test for their patient:

(GIF caption: At what cost?)

Just a regular reminder that #PriorAuthorization should be fucking illegal. If your doctor says you need something, #Insurance companies can shut their fucking mouths about it.
#Medicare4All

CVS has a policy requiring that a prior authorization be submitted for medications we all know will not be covered and that PA must be rejected before they will allow a patient to simply pay for prescriptions that are sometimes less than $20. How is this legal? #CVS #medicare #health #priorauthorization

All a Prior Authorization is, is an insurance filibuster to delay care until the patient:

1. Resigns to suboptimal alternatives that are often based on formulary and behind closed doors handshake / handjob kickback agreements

2. Quits trying

3. Dies
