@danielwreporter Have you seen the Russell Moore response to a question from an SBC pastor about mosque building? It is a succinct representation of why conservatives evangelicals might want to reject CN. Highly recommend. https://t.co/SiFrMxrgp0
@tjparker Providers are navigating too much 3rd party stuff. IMO insurance who sets the price, copays should also own the transparency and collections. Providers share a range of CPT codes that may be billed and patients could punch it into their own insurance app and get the answer.
@Camp4@fredrick_d31586@crowdhealth We own a clinic that takes insurance and we regularly get patients who are health share members. We like getting paid this way. No need to chase payment and the customer gets a cash price. We are also the best value as an indy outpatient clinic.
@CVernonSmith@RepBaumgartner He could be a good member of congress. But he's overconfident in the rightness of the GOP. Even today - posting a photo with Jim Jordan and saying "we're going to save the country". He lacks the independent vision of Nethercutt and Foley. But he's better than Mcmorris Rodgers
@RepJayapal Would encourage you to talk to practice mgrs in the trenches esp. independent outpatient practices. They provide the best value care by far - I mean by far. Under current reimbursement w/o the commercial payor mix they will also die - leading to reduced access and higher cost
@Wildlaw406 You’re right there will be many hearings. I do hope there will be lots of oversight that annoys the president. Every president should have annoying congressional oversight. TBD if they also do anything positive or not. Previous congress had no oversight and few accomplishments
@RepBaumgartner Character is destiny - GOP house needed to get beat so you all can reform and be a stand up, principled party again, which we need. I'm hoping reform extends beyond the non-leaking of political strategy meetings though.
@Empty_America I think there are exceptions. For example, Spokane city council is solid blue and they have pushed to deregulate zoning, parking minimums (for example, almost every single family lot is now zoned for 4 plex). Other west coast cities have begun to follow suit.
@JerseyMike82@SarahisCensored For the gun purchase the mom has responsibility, yes. But I also want to know how many encounters he had with the system, CPS, juvi, ER. OR and WA have lots of process and resources for when adults are a danger to kids and few for when kids are a danger to themselves or others.
@HeathVeuleman Saw this today: We're denied medical necessity by payer in a peer to peer pre auth. They provide page with 300 research citations. Pre AI it's too much, forget about it and move on. Post AI - you review the findings of the 300 studies and find they are bullshitting and appeal
@Radiologysheep@DutchRojas That's frustrating. I'm considering helping set up an IDTF which will do rural facility visits and hope that we can make "network adequacy" arguments to land the contracts. That is the theory anyway
@Radiologysheep@DutchRojas As a much lower cost alternative wouldn't all the networks want you? Or are you independently deciding to opt out of some of them? Have you found that you can negotiate more reasonable pricing with the payers at all? Making a cost savings or access argument?
@402sld @adam_nessim In our experience referrals are the absolute best source but If doing "longevity medicine" there is possibly a decent Google or FB ad ROI. We get at least 45% from referrals and maybe 25% from Google ads but our specialty does not have a lot of ad competition either
