Medicare's budget isn't neutral at all. It is actually having negative impacts on physician reimbursement and patient access. We are on the Hill today advocating for the end of this policy so practices will be able to thrive in the future. #act4arthritis healthleadersmedia.com/reven…

ATAP's @AngusWorthing testifying at the Maryland House of Delegates Health & Government Operations Commitee. "ATAP is concerned about the role Pharmacy Benefit Managers play regarding the alarming price increases in the total cost and out-of-pocket costs of prescription drugs for patients, resulting in the loss of patient access to affordable and lifesaving medications."

One of my patients (who labels himself a #PriorAuthSurvivor) diagrammed the unnecessary complexity of trying to get his medication approved on time 👇 Rinse & repeat and this is a cyclic nightmare that has nothing to do with chemo but rather the bureaucracy of US healthcare

Has anyone ever looked into writing legislation that would require that peer-to-peers are actually peers (eg someone with a same/similar board certification)? When I've had other rheumatologists on these discussions, it more often results in a good discussion and insight into what options the insurance company could best offer to serve the patient. Versus when it's someone in a different field or far undertrained in rheumatology, it's clearly following an algorithm/flowsheet. @AngusWorthing @RepAngieCraig @SenAmyKlobuchar @SenTinaSmith @ACRheum @ACRSimpleTasks @LCalabreseDO @rheumecraig
On difficult cases, always demand that peer to peers are with someone board certified in your specialty. Key word: demand.
