@janisf this is just horrifying to this Senior on Medicare who already has had major problems with third party authorizations even for an MRI to diagnose herniated discs! I am in Arizona. It’s already awful. Now this:
“firms to deploy AI to make what are known as “prior authorization” decisions regarding whether Medicare should pay for certain procedures, including spinal surgeries and steroid injections. The program is set to run first in Arizona, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, and Washington.”

"the free app automatically generates appeal letters by analyzing denial forms against policy contracts, boasting a 70% success rate and empowering patients to push back in a system where 850 million claims are denied annually—but less than 1% are appealed."

Turns out the concentration of medical practices into an ever-smaller number of private hands isn’t good for patients. Who could have predicted that???

I'm trying to schedule an appointment with my mom's endocrinologist. This is through Providence. They are booked through February 2024..

So let me get this right. Emergent care that is needed right away, you have to wait 6 months for?

I mean, what else do you say about this. Every human asset connected to living is also connected to capitalism and profit. Shameful doesn't even go far enough. It's just disgusting. #ushealthcare #healthcare #ForProfitMedicine #providencehealthcare

Nothing else...

#ForProfitMedicine has nothing to do with #Healthcare but profiteering from the suffering of others...
