In the wake of @hasanminhaj’s ill-informed comments about DOs on the Tonight Show, seems like a good time to ask:

In the year 2021, does insisting upon a ‘separate but equal’ licensing examination help or hurt DOs? Do we still need the NBOME?

I say no.

BREAKING: @UHC has just reversed its anti-VEGF policy and is allowing patients to get 12 #injections a year.

@Aetna controls the purse strings for the heath care of a significant number of Americans. This new pre-authorization policy is needlessly disrupting care for at least 95%. There’s got to be a better way.

[American Academy of Ophthalmology @aao_ophth]

Hey @Aetna, you’re sending mixed messages on the necessity of cataract surgery .

First, you told Academy leaders that all cataract surgery must be pre-authorized because 4.6% of requested cataract surgery is unnecessary. Now, you issue statements saying it’s 20%.🤯

Oh you know just seeing a patient who had well managed diabetes for years before the insurance company decided to stop paying for their medications, which wrecked their A1c, and forced the patient into tens of thousands of dollars worth of eye care for diabetic retinopathy

Authors describe possible mechanism for a small full thickness retinal break in the macula observed in a patient after intravitreal injection: "retinal perforation by the Avastin jet" https://t.co/lb3Z5wL5ND
