To everyone in a similar scenario: the tactic my dr.'s office has taught me is to ask, in writing, for: 1) the name, board specialty, and license number of the doctor making the determination the treatment was not medically necessary. 2) copies of all amterials they relied on to make their determination; 3) proof the dr. making the determination has maintained registration in your specific state & documentation of their meeting all their continuing education requirements; 4) the aggregate rate @ which similar treatments are denied vs approved by the specific dr being used for peer review. You are not entitled by law to *all* of these things in most states, but you're entitled to some of them, & you can always ask for them. This is, she says, a wildly successful tactic, b/c if the insurance co. answers them honestly, it gives you evidence that the "drs" making these determinations are practicing medicine out of scope, w/o proper licensing & qualifications, in areas they are not competent in. Everyone knows this is true; it's not a secret. . . . It's a tactic that has worked.

#Healthcare as suffering: “We sat in the hospital for 3 days b/c #UnitedHealthcare refused to approve the transfer via ambulance from the hospital where we live to another state. & at that point, I was ready to just get in my car & take her [1-year old baby with a giant brain tumor] there myself. But UHC told us if we left the hospital by our own will, & it wasn’t via ambulance, they were not going to cover her @ the next hospital we went to,” she said.

Brian Thompson’s killing inspired rage – against the healthcare industry

Thousands of Americans go bankrupt, lose their homes or die every year due to medical insurer practices

After the horrors of the #Nazis, American judges put together “The Nuremberg Code”, laying out the principles for ethical medical and scientific research.

They’ve served humanity well for decades, but may not be to protect humanity from potential species-endangering events, such as nuclear war or pandemics. buff.ly/3CXOUaX #Histodons @histodons #science #medicine


The Nuremberg Code isn’t just for prosecuting Nazis − its principles have shaped medical ethics to this day

The Nuremberg Code was developed during trials for Nazi officials accused of performing inhumane experiments − but its influence has been far wider.

the most fucked up thing you’ve ever seen SO FAR


Blue Cross/Blue Shield want to stop covering anesthesiology drugs beyond a fixed amount of time

during

surgeries?

So if a surgery goes longer than their time allotment, coverage stops on

anaesthesia?!

I mean

I mean

I mean

there’s also the whole “nothing says quality medicine like rushing a surgery team” but

HOLY SHIT YOU MONSTERS
Frame from a Dr. Glaucomflecken skit wherein he points out that this apparently comedic nonsense about health insurance companies is actually 100% a real policy actually being rolled out by Blue Cross/Blue Shield, one of the largest medical insurers in the US. It's captioned "Yes, this is a real policy BCBS is rolling out" and "Blue Cross will stop paying for general anaesthesia for the rest of the surgery."
