Received an unscheduled P2Peer last sunday morning at 7 am from a generic number after waiting 3 wks for 20y w brain mets. Voicemail left without name or callback. Only option is appeal now? Rather than investing in people @UHC and optum hide without ability for a real P2P.
Radical prostatectomy vs radiotherapy in high-risk #ProstateCancer: Emulated randomized comparison with individual patient data from two phase III randomized trials. - A new emulated RCT analysis finds that radiotherapy + long-term ADT results in lower distant metastasis rates…
The stories keep coming. How long until Congress acts? What more do we need to show to prove that insurers are stealing money from hospitals, physicians, and most importantly patients, in order to satisfy their executives and shareholders? Let’s work together to end this!
This woman worked for UnitedHealthcare in the claims department, she was taught “thousands” of ways to deny people “I'm here to talk about one specific claim” - A widowed woman would call 3x a day because UnitedHealthcare was taking her to court - Her husband had just passed…

Hey @UHC. Completed a hysterectomy yesterday afternoon, discharged her home in the evening (saving @UHC and everyone some money). Discharge medications included 12 Vicodin. (retail cost $30). Vicodin DENIED pending prior authorization. Patient in pain all night. Way to go.
“Sorry, sir/ma’am, while you were unconscious in surgery, circumstances out of your control meant your surgery went past a cut off time we made up, so we’ll take the opportunity to not pay for your healthcare now. PS. We will still happily accept your premiums and raise them…
The single most important thing any radiation therapy patient should know about is whether there was peer-review of their contours and prescription. Its not a cool sounding technologies but it is likely way more important relative to patient outcomes. authors.elsevier.com/a/1kBaxcA0-IffL
Dear @Humana, my patient with oligometastatic prostate cancer (CHAARTED-defined) qualifies for prostate-directed radiotherapy per STAMPEDE Arm H—a Phase III trial showing overall survival benefit. Despite 3D radiotherapy approval, IMRT was denied. I was denied peer-to-peer review…

This is a practice I heartily endorse. I even turn it off in some hotel rooms if I can access the settings and staying more than a day or two.
Tom Cruise is losing sleep over motion smoothing. In a PSA video, the Mission Impossible star, alongside director Christopher McQuarrie, urges viewers to turn off this default TV setting, which makes movies look like high-speed video.
New low (for me) on the #Oncology #PriorAuthorization saga ... @AnthemBlueCross denies coverage of SBRT for a stage IA, inoperable, NSCLC This decision is harmful, completely against guidelines, against patient care, (as @fumikochino well said) erodes trust, and is a waste of…
Who decided Pitbull was the absolute best they could do?? Big Ellie could put on a better halftime show 😭😭😭 #WNBA #WNBALLSTAR
So @BlueShieldCA informed me on July 10, 2024 that #priorauth is required for ALL #radonc services effective April 1, 2024. Not only is this #outrageous, #BlueShieldCA waited over 3 months to officially inform me. #fixpriorauth @ASTRO_org @RadiologyACR @ACRORadOnc @CMAdocs…
