All doctors are not medical doctors. Patients should know their doctor and choose the best doctor for them. #trainingmatters Educate. Advocate. Legislate.

@patience_not @notaproviderMD @PhysForPatients You double book for 2 reasons: 1) in case patients are no-shows or 2) doc isn't getting reimbursed enough for services rendered. Office managers think doc seeing 30 patients/day with lower billing codes produces more $ than doc seeing 10-15 patients day with higher billing codes

BTW...provider is an insurance term coined to maximize billing by obfuscating the capacity and education of those billing for care

Competition & decreased utilization of expensive care saves cost and lowers prices. Cost of routine care for high risk patients is same as low risk, with better care & access

Great analogy for PBM-led drug price inflation

[CMS Office of Healthcare Experience - Parody @CMS_Burden_GOV]

Many complain that the @JoeBiden mug is too expensive at $32.

@JoeBiden takes a cue from #PBMs, pricing his $3 generic mug for $32 as "branded generic"!

Remember, there is rampant inflation. A $32 coffee mug is a great deal! Get it now!

Next year, you will think you got it on a fire sale!

@CheesedHammer @notaproviderMD @PhysForPatients You as the patient may not like it either if you heard that NPs don't have standardized education. At least that diploma mill nurse will hold your hand. How quaint.

[Nikki M. Johnson, MD @notaproviderMD]

I'm talking about NPs who don't work with a physician. Since the ACA passed, diploma mills have churned them out with very little experience as nurses, and states are allowing them to practice without a physician's oversight.
The quality NPs, like yours, have years of nursing experience and work with physicians.

[Nikki M. Johnson, MD @notaproviderMD]

I'm all for patients having a choice, but that choice should be freely made after being informed of options. But, in many instances, patients don't get a choice and are being told they're getting the same quality of care. Hospitalized patients don't get to select their medical team. Try walking into an urgent care center or ED and ask to see a physician.

[Stark Raven Mad @Ravenwild9]

@notaproviderMD @PhysForPatients Oh no! Doc. She’s works for a physician that oversees her.

I ain’t stupid 😂😂

[Nikki M. Johnson, MD @notaproviderMD]

Half of the US states allow nurses to pretend to be doctors. It was only a matter of time before this happened. We've been warning you about this. @PhysForPatients

#IwasaJuly1intern Interns are well supervised and already have about 3000 training hours. I chose resident teams when I’ve been admitted to the hospital. And I want everyone to know that #trainingmatters and #itsoktoask for physician-led care. @ACPIMPhysicians @PhysForPatients

[PhysiciansForPatients @PhysForPatients]

There is no territorial fight between those with different credentials.

The gold standard for the safe practice of medicine is a physician with an initial board certification. Nursing ≠ medicine.

Patients deserve transparency about credentials.

[Patients First @HalstedMD]

NP is angry IM physician told her its inappropriate to introduce herself as "doctor" in the ICU, claims no one respects IM physicians and they’re the lowest on the totem pole

CA patients ought to be aware of these changes also. You should know the skill and education level of every medical professional. You should be able to choose who cares for you.

[Taz @Suburbanbella]

ATTENTION CA DOCS!! Our medical board(CA-BOM), which doesn't do jack to protect us from NPPs who use our names claiming supervision by us w/o our knowledge, is now assisting the nursing board(BRN) in allowing NPs to practice medicine w/o a license. NPs are no longer required to

@TheBigMigShow @DocOzzieOsborne @lexy_ness12 @DukeHealth Hello and our apologies for the delayed response. Thank you for the invitation. Our purpose is very focused on encouraging transparency in the skills and knowledge of medical professionals and also exposing and solving the corruption in the corporate practice of medicine.

[CGallMD @GallaherCaren]

@MOAFP We stand with you @PhysForPatients Legislating non physicians to practice medicine is Fraud. Patients are not receiving informed consent. Nursing is NOT Medicine.

[Taz @Suburbanbella]

5)what the majority of NPs working in the ED are? FNPs. Where the f**k did all of our ER PAs go? I never had a problem working in the ED with ER RNs and PAs. The quality went downhill the moment they started replacing docs and PAs with NPs. Yeah, I said it. I now know why the

[Taz @Suburbanbella]

Every time I see s**t like this post from "Nurse Practitioner Newbies", I'm going to magnify the absurd statement that Sophia Thomas, the former president of the AANP said about NPs upon graduation.
