Love the @SCHPLUGS resources (even those available to non-members) on #LabStewardship, Insurance Appeals, Preauthorization, and Medical Necessity Guidance

BREAKING: The Supreme Court just issued a stay in the medication abortion case, which means that access to mifepristone remains for now. This is good news, but the facts remain the same: Access to mifepristone should never have been in jeopardy in the first place.

Folks attending #ACMGMtg23 - join me in supporting the Utah abortion fund in light of their newly passed abortion ban #AbortionIsHealthcare fund.nnaf.org/campaign/utah-…

Ethical, legitimate, AND affordable supplies of medications/treatments for genetic disorders are needed, among many other initiatives, to help address this issue. #ACMGMtg23

Low-middle income countries (LMICs) typically have a high rate of disease due to many factors, yet they don’t have the same access to treatment that high income countries (HICs) do. #ACMGMtg23

Important info from Dr. Salman Kirmani’s #ACMGMtg23 talk today: 3% of requests for compassionate use access to unlicensed products for patients w/ serious medical conditions come from low-middle income countries and 87% come from high income countries.

What an important talk by @kstsosie at #ACMGMtg23. Equity is not inclusion. Equity is not access.
