Maggie Maybe<p>OK so today I opened a piece of mail that looked fake AF. It was from national government services and I actually thought it was just a solicitation about a Medicare advantage plan.</p><p>It looks like it’s approving the Botox so maybe they will get paid now. I’m not sure why they had to do this twice, the way that letter reads makes it sound like now these procedures need prior authorization so maybe they didn’t before but by the time they submitted the charge they did?</p><p>I don’t know, they will handle it, I’m just relieved the hospital isn’t stuck with a $10,000 bill because of me.</p><p><a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/medicare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>medicare</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/priorauthorization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>priorauthorization</span></a></p>

Dr. Zeke<p>Today I wrote this in a clinical note (yes in all caps):</p><p>"IN CASE AN INSURER IS READING THIS DOCUMENT, PLEASE CONTACT DR. MCKINNEY TO DISCUSS THE PATIENT'S CHRONIC MEDICAL CONDITION AND HOW TREATING IT CORRECTLY (RATHER THAN DENYING CARE) WILL SAVE YOU MONEY."</p><p>That's screaming into the ether because I can't seem to navigate <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/PriorAuthorization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PriorAuthorization</span></a> processes despite many very long phone calls and attempts. Yay.</p>
Drea<p>This <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mstdn.social/@washingtonpost" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>washingtonpost</span></a></span> article about <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PriorAuthorization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PriorAuthorization</span></a> battles really hit home. Living with <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Type1Diabetes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Type1Diabetes</span></a>, I’ve dealt with this way too often. But that $21.6 billion in lost productivity incurred by those of us living with chronic medical conditions is sickening. I loathe to think of how much of my life I’ve lost not to my disease, but to time I’ve spent dealing with insurance and administrative crap. <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/wellness/2023/01/30/high-priced-drugs-step-insurance-policies/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">washingtonpost.com/wellness/20</span><span class="invisible">23/01/30/high-priced-drugs-step-insurance-policies/</span></a></p>
Hannu Ikonen, MD<p>All a Prior Authorization is, is an insurance filibuster to delay care until the patient:</p><p>1.
