@Cignaquestions Thanks @Cignaquestions. Just keep your eye out for a second appeal letter with published data to support our treatment recommendation

[Brian Bingham MD @BrianBinghamMD]

Just spent >90 minutes on the phone with @evicorehc and @Cigna while they fought over who's job it was to deny my patient's #cancertreatment. Patient has been waiting >60 days and is praying for a miracle...

@Haleyml1987 @VUMCRadOnc @VUMC_Cancer @JCOOP_ASCO Hope it helps! Many thanks to @ASTRO_org for collaborating on this!

Happy to report we just published our work estimating the tremendous cost of prior authorization to #radonc practices (>$40 million/yr). How much are YOU spending to get permission to treat cancer patients?

Peer to peer discussion yesterday 🤯

Me: What I'm proposing is here in NCCN Guidelines.
Reviewer: It's not in Evicore Guidelines.
Me: What are those based on?
Reviewer: I'm not an expert. I can't give you any thoughts on that.

Patient care denied again. #fixpriorauth

@fumikochino @fumikochino Thanks so much for moderating and helping us get our work out there! Honored to be a part of #ASTRO21 and represent @VUMCRadOnc. A powerful question: What could your clinic accomplish with the resources being spent on #priorauthorization?

Very excited to publish our work from @VUMC_Cancer on radiation treatment for patients experiencing homelessness. Hopeful that this will spur some conversation and further studies. #homelessness #CancerResearch

[Vanderbilt Radiation Oncology @VUMCRadOnc]

Excellent work evaluating Radiotherapy Adherence in homeless populations - well done Ben Facer, VUMC med, and @BrianBinghamMD https://t.co/Iv86lxX6lK

The new @CMSGov RO model is a payment cut disguised as a model test, and it violates the spirit and intent of Congress and Medicare payment law. Visit https://t.co/Tk6ZOqbJor today to send a letter telling your Representatives & Senators to act to protect patients and providers!

Ever called someone to tell them their standard of care cancer treatment has to be delayed because an insurance company wants to argue about it?

It's the worst.

Let's fix it! Fill out the survey! Thanks to @ASTRO_org for putting this together!
