Cigna uses an automated system that allows “medical directors” (doctors employed by @Cigna) to deny a claim in 1.2 seconds without opening the patient’s file.

Please read this, share it, and help us (metaphorically) burn these companies to the ground.

If you work in medicine and read any thread today, this should be it.

The good people at @propublica are putting together a project about health insurance denials. They are collecting stories. They came to the right corner of twitter for stories. You can tell yours at the link below. https://t.co/vYtipQJeL1

[Samantha Winemaker she/her @SammyWinemaker]

Sure, we could;

1.Train more #Palliativecare doctors

2. Figure out how to get more referrals

3. See #Patients earlier in their illness

We will NEVER make a dent until every graduating healthcare provider has the basic skills to provide a palliative approach.

Palliative care is 👏an👏option👏. After a severe medical event, it’s crucial for patients to know all of their options *and* for clinicians to discuss palliative care and if it’s right for their patient.

"I can guarantee that if you see my palliative care colleague your symptoms are going to be better managed, your family is going to be cared for better, and your survival is going to be prolonged. It just needs to be part of routine medical care …"

Democrat @JonesForAR is running against Sarah Huckabee Sanders. His ad is worth a watch and he’s worth a follow.

Patient-centered care begins with the hearing from patients themselves. That’s why CCCC created our Palliative Care Ambassador project. Read more in our latest blog post: https://t.co/fNHG29770f Thank you!: @GraceCordovano @HAISurvivor @srhall419 @SeleneSeltzer @Reinhart_shelly

[JAMA @JAMA_current]

The absence of pain is not only an absence of a negative feeling—it is the presence of relief. When we suffer, we seek the presence of comfort, the presence of solace, the presence of those willing to sit with us in our suffering https://t.co/72uHXK6mfm @ramyasampath0 #medhum

[Jeremy Faust MD MS (ER physician) @jeremyfaust]

Ashish is one of our best; a mentor and a leader for many of today’s best and emerging voices and experts.

For him to be attacked simply for standing up for the facts and the data is appalling.

America should be better than that.

When will our government act?

MY FAVORITE THEME:
“QoL is defined by the individual, may evolve over time, and is important for everyone—not just those with a terminal diagnosis or nearing the end of life.”

Meaning: As you move through phases after diagnosis, what QoL means TO YOU changes too.
