I will be going further with an external appeal. @UHC will pay for my healthcare for my patient. Unfortunately, the delays mean more time to reap profits off interest. That’s why the system is set up this way. 5/5

Had a peer to peer scheduled with @UHC as they denied a medication for my patient. I explained what clinical trials have shown, guidelines, and expert medical opinion. Doc then responded that she can’t override the denial due to “plan policy.” 1/5

Insurance denied Nurtec for patient because it wasn’t on their formulary. I couldn’t find their formulary online so I called to ask. They informed me that rimegepant is on formulary and I can order that. Friends… rimegepant and Nurtec are same damn medication.

@beth_morton That would be a great job for someone who was willing to do that. I’d pay for someone to do phone calls for me.

Like sometimes “abnormal” results have no impact on the clinical scenario. And it’s the provider’s job to interpret these results based on all available information and educate the patient on what the fancy words mean.

Everyone has the right to their test results but having patients being able to see them before the doctor is just adding extra stress and anxiety. Let the medical team review the results and then give it to the patients with an explanation.

the window of time btwn receiving test results & your doctor's explanation of those results is an anxiety-filled mess of emotions. what do these words mean? do I need to be worried? do these incredibly long-winded explanations explain my new symptoms? truly: what is happening?!

I sit in this room - its walls adorned with portraits of the giants of our field - to get work done every time I'm on service. I can't help but wonder if their visions of the future of neurology included (Black, disabled, Latina) neurologists like me.

I just wanted people to be aware that the @DGlaucomflecken Cinematic Universe has its own wiki and I am pleased with this. glaucomflecken.fandom.com/wiki/Glaucomfl…

Prep for interview season: Make sure you have a clean and professional interview space, clear webcam, and reliable internet. Ask your school for designated spaces if necessary. Dress well even though it's virtual! Do your homework: know why you applied to each respective program.

@CatieOsaurus Check your medicine cabinet. That’s where I found my passport 8 months after I swore I put it down on my desk.

Can we stop saying certain patients are “VIP”? Either everyone or no one is VIP. Stop insinuating that some patients deserve different or better care than others.
