If you died today, your job would replace you tomorrow.

Your friends and family can’t (and wouldn’t want to) replace you.

Don’t make something else a #1 priority that treats you like an option.

Must read for today… The The New York Times and Chris Hamby outlined how Multiplan has been coordinating with insurance companies to take significant money (measured in billions) from self-insured companies. What if I told you they have used a different scheme to confuse physicians and…

Prior authorization continues to burden physicians and patients. In this study, only 0.3% of all claims were ultimately denied but it took over a month on average to get approval and even longer when the insurance company initially denied the care then ultimately reversed course.…

Yes! Patients should own their medical records. Predatory EHR companies charging enormous fees to doctors all while companies leveraging pts data for gain.

Well looky here… it only took an excessive amount of my time and a tweet of my disgust to overturn this whopping $272 claim… $272 down $13,999,999,728 to go for the rest of their nationwide backup. Texas Medical Association This is unacceptable.

Physicians want to open hospitals where other entities have failed. The Affordable Care Act prevents these physicians from building hospitals in the communities of need. Instead they can only build clinics. It’s time to repeal Section 6001 of the Act. This is in the community…

With all their upcoding and care denials, somehow I think Medicare HMOs will do just fine. The doctors who contract with them? Not so much.

Half of Optum management is CMSGov in-and-out-of-government staff; half of CMSGov staff is UnitedHealthcare staff. The other half is AHIP & Vice versa

Truly a single-payer, single-provider, captive-regulator system.

The time for physicians to opt out of Medicare was yesterday! You should get paid what you determine is a reasonable price. Just say NO to Medicare. If enough Physicians opt out of Medicare, payment reform will occur.

I want everyone to read this post👇and then sit back and laugh at Loren Adler and his band of trolls. They are policy wonks paid by $UNH $CI nothing they say or publish should be taken as anything but insurer propaganda.
