Part 2 of ACP-Medicine Forward series on solutions to #FixPriorAuth happening now w/ amazing lineup! @gabrieldane, co-founder w/ @EricTopol of @MedicineForward, kicks off the mtg w/ comments about urgency of #MedTwitter #advocacy & activism to protect dr-patient relationship.
Dr. @ShikhaJainMD is orienting audience to the amt of time #MedTwitter spends doing prior auth & peer-to-peer calls, in many cases w/ insurance company "peers" w/ no training in the specialty. Some could not even pronounce the tumor type or drug name. #DenialOfCare #FixPriorAuth
Dr. @ShikhaJainMD says that she cares for a patient with #cancer whose insurance company only allow 4 CT scans LIFETIME for their #cancer, which prevents her from assessing how well the treatment is working. This is absurd & MUST be fixed. #DenialOfCare #FixPriorAuth #MedTwitter
