https://t.co/mUUVFZ6Iho ProPublica has done it again. These terrifying glimpses inside health insurance corporations are so important. People need to understand what we're up against. These corporations don't care about you. @Cigna

Updated analysis of insurance companies' adherence to #IBD guidelines - less than 20% allow recommended therapies as first line and most require use of steroids or immunomodulators first 😩 @ibdtweets

NEW BLOG: When I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease in July 2005, I would have given anything to read these words. I hope this heartfelt article brings comfort, while educating, and empowering both patients and caregivers. #IBD #Crohns #ulcerativecolitis https://t.co/yrlV8TVKUB

🔸The #EntericNervousSystem plays a critical role in mediating the aggravating effect of chronic stress on intestinal #inflammation
🔸#StressManagement could serve as a valuable component of IBD care

Brings to light what I have suspected for some time - it’s a game - automated denial anticipating only a fraction will be appealed. No regard for evidence based medical care or patient well being. Please read… https://t.co/HeTfynrS89

Landed ✈️ in San Francisco yesterday after 1 month of IUS training in Israel with @DrDancarter and started clinic with IUS exams today at @UCSFHospitals @ucsfibd ! So great to be able to show my patients objective findings of disease activity in real time.

[Jean-Frederic Colombel @JeanFredericCo1]

@MehandruLab @AGA_Gastro @MSHS_IBDCenter @MountSinaiGI @SinaiImmunol Common thinking is that UC is an acute disease…Well…up to 10 years before diagnosis the preclinical phase is already “cooking”. This is disruptive!😁👍

Me and patient: We should try Nexium 🤝

Insurance: Denied 🛑, you must fail Prevacid first and then it’s $180/mo

Me: (sends Nexium rx to @costplusdrugs for $9/mo)

Patient: feeling better 😃

@mcuban @alexosh have absolutely changed the game �� #GITwitter
