A little bit of business tweeting and retweeting and a little bit of tweeting without thinking to later delete and hope no one noticed.

Besides making healthcare unaffordable for families, the ACA killed small businesses, too.

ASA strongly opposes UnitedHealthcare's new policy to limit insurance payment for complex #anesthesia cases. This move devalues essential anesthesia care for our most vulnerable and high-risk patients. Help us keep private insurers accountable: ow.ly/nzJn50WUxKS

Today’s assault on physician practices comes from Cigna
Cigna will now be able to reduce your E/M code down one level when you code Level 4 or Level 5 new and follow up patient appointments. If they find that you aren’t coding correctly, they reserve the right to kick you out of their network.
Coding E/M visits is so complicated that there are a seemingly endless number of classes given by each specialty to try to educate their physicians on how to accurately tell the insurer how much work was done. We already don’t have enough physicians to take care of everyone and now we want to kick physicians out of network for this convoluted process for getting paid? Give me a break.
Let doctors be doctors. Stop the death by a thousand paper cuts.

Absolutely disgraceful. The American Health Insurance Industry is stealing the American patient/provider blind. The rest of the world’s private companies are not this immoral. When will DC fight back and stop taking their support?! healthcareuncovered.substack.com/p/as-americans…

Politicians and administrators love the term “vertical integration.”
When hospital systems and insurers consolidate services—imaging, surgery, rehab, and follow-up—it’s called innovation. They claim it streamlines care, reduces fragmentation, and boosts efficiency. Regulators applaud it. Consultants praise it.
But when a physician builds the exact same model in independent practice, it’s suddenly “self-referral.” Now it’s Stark Law territory. Now it’s abuse. Now it’s a compliance risk.
Never mind that it may be cheaper, faster, and more accessible for the patient. Never mind that it keeps care coordinated and centered on outcomes.
The structure is identical. The difference is who controls it.
If a hospital buys a PT group, radiology center, or ASC, it’s “integrated care.” If a doctor owns the same, it’s flagged as suspect.
This has nothing to do with protecting patients—and everything to do with protecting market share.
Independent physicians are punished for efficiency while systems are rewarded for consolidation.
