Insurers Pocketed $50 Billion From Medicare for Diseases No Doctor Treated - The Wall Street Journal apple.news/Ak6FUUvjwQ3Sw1…

@MarilynHeineMD Too bad we can actually submit claims to Medicare lol

🌠”HR 2474…would ensure that physicians receive annual inflationary payment updates, just as other types of providers receive under the Medicare system…will help ensure that seniors can receive adequate care from local physicians for many years to come.” dailycaller.com/2024/05/02/and…

As the sustainability of physician practices continues to be in jeopardy due to the Change Healthcare cyber outage, patients’ access to care is increasingly at risk. ama-assn.org/practice-manag…

@DrBruggeman I think it should depend upon who the employer is.

We finally have SOME information about what was stolen. Sounds like it wasn’t charts from physician offices. United also confirmed that the ransom was paid (previously reported as $22 Million). The bad news: a “substantial” portion of the population is impacted. This goes against prior statements that United has tried to sell themselves as controlling a small part of the healthcare system. reuters.com/technology/cyb…

This is more complex/nefarious. Stay tuned!

@JeffreyLDavis44 @jessiehellmann Crazy! Nearly 5 weeks and no money, limited communication - where r the redundencies? In the or, when a machine goes down, we wheel in another one.

Great article by @jessiehellmann on the impact of the Change Healthcare cybersecurity attack on community health centers-- most of which have limited cash on hand. It's been over a month since the attack was announced...

🚨🧵 AMA urged ⁦@HHSGov⁩ ⁦@USDOL⁩ & all healthcare system partners to use all regulatory flexibilities to continue supporting physicians & addressing the enormous interruption in physician practice ops caused by CHNG #cybersecurity incident. tinyurl.com/bdhzj8ef

@MarilynHeineMD @Change_HC @AmerMedicalAssn @HHSGov How about creating an exception to mips reporting due to the ‘emergency’ this creates for physician practices.

🎇On the ⁦@Change_HC⁩ cyberattack: 🧵The ⁦@AmerMedicalAssn⁩ asks the ⁦@HHSGov⁩ “to use all its available authorities to ensure that physician practices can continue to function, and patients can continue to receive the care that they need.”

@TomMadejski @sonodoc99 @mass_marion @MarilynHeineMD Not to mention the opacity surrounding the recent/ongoing data breach…

Finally, the feds are starting to look at consolidation and possible anticompetitive activities wsj.com/health/healthc… #AMA @sonodoc99 @mass_marion @MSSNYRothberg @MarilynHeineMD

@MarilynHeineMD @LIBMedicine @StanfordWellMD A most compelling video. I suggest that in addition to providing cultural support (a place where folks feel safe) we need (non disciplinary) resources to support those stressed, struggling or even impaired. Organized medicine provides that for our physicians.

🌠A must-watch video, “I am Human,”by @StanfordWellMD. Let’s share this message to heighten awareness of our #humanity. Shift from a "hero mindset" to a "human #mindset.” 🎥youtu.be/QCZCiZ0K57M #wellbeing #burnout

@drdanchoi “MA has never yielded aggregate savings to the Medicare program, despite that being one of the core goals,"
