@TriWest 5 months into add new providers to our group & still nothing happens. We have military members that want to see these providers & can’t until this is handled. No other ins takes half this long. What should we tell these military members while they wait? @SenatorLankford
So appreciative of the great relationship we have with so many surgeons in the metro! It truly leads to a dramatically improved patient experience.. . Win for everyone involved!
@JeremyBurnhamMD@LenMacPT@kcrehabguy as 2 of the biggest leaders in the PT profession with vast experience treating these post-op, would like your thoughts on this data
After three decades as a knee surgeon, I can say this with confidence…. many people are far more limited by the story their MRI report tells them than by the condition of their meniscus or articulation cartilage.
Oklahoma up BIG on a Top 10 TCU team early as Skip Johnson’s club eyes the clean SWEEP in Arlington.
The Sooners have to be college baseball’s biggest winners of opening weekend. Massive statement.
Interesting thing is @Cigna is denying appeals and the denials are signed “Medical Director” - when we asked for the name and credentials of said “Medical Director” they wouldn’t tell us! They said we’d have to write a letter with that request which they would review. That means a podiatrist or nurse could be denying the care my dermatology patient needs. Gotta love that blatant disregard of transparency. Insanity! 🤯🤬
@LenMacPT Seeing more QT grafts & not having too many issues w/ normalizing strength, as long as we get that open chain terminal extension back early first 4-6 weeks… when that drags along, then we see strength delays. You seeing any similar predictive patterns in the early stages?
Thank you @AmbetterHealth for once again denying our patient access to care they desperately need! You approve surgery then deny their PT afterwards! Pretty slimy behavior! I don’t know why it surprises me anymore, but the level these companies stoop to keep getting lower
PT schools should be looking at models of 3 year undergrad pre-requisite and then allow early admit and shorten PT school to 2.5 years. Shave 1.5 year of cost off!

Spicy take: medical credentialing/priviliging in 2025 wastes $ billions and doesn't protect anyone.
We should have single, nationwide priviliging for every provider (and national med licenses while we're at it) run by some neutral consortium that every hospital has to follow.
The only appropriate role for a health insurance company is to pay bills, not to "manage" care.
The only appropriate decision-makers in health care are patients and their doctors.
