Reading this, I think it’s important to add my input as an IR with IRC! It’s been disappointing to see an IR try to take down a group of other IRs that have demonstrated meaningful growth to physicians like myself, pts alike with better than standard outcomes and while insinuating bad ethics or practice. Aren’t you always advocating for independent practices? Are you having sizable monthly M&Ms/multidisciplinary QA seminars? Utilizing tracking software for outcomes and complications; utilizing pt reporting tools that lead to better outcomes and communication with pts? Have a live feed in your procedure room to address a potential vascular to clinical issue that can arise with anyone to produce best patient outcomes? Your practice adequately paying consultants to audit your charts for billing accuracy, medical necessity, or proper use of codes? Are you up to date on the real world outcomes of urological intervention beyond what can be read in a journal? IRC has every one of these among many more you are likely unaware of. There is no doubt that if in Virginia with Sonny or any other state with our talented group and a pt to not at least have access to this experience wouldn’t always be in their best interest. Sonny helped build one of the most successful independent and DR/IR practices before IR centers running trials, developing procedures you may lay claim to, practicing at a level greater than most. You make it seem like he doesn’t have superior knowledge about the Independent OBL, DR/IR model, and academic approach to medicine in which we would be happy to educate further on these topics. Just try and learn without an accusation or defaming a group veiled in a mission to protect. @IR_SchwartzMD @DonGarbettMD @SuiteLifeofIR @AlexPavidapha @RPiechowiakDO @NoLimitIR

Educate us then: What exactly are these “utilization guardrails” you speak of? How have you saved independent IR or IR/DR practices exactly? I know you have saved urology practices. How are you billing your procedures? Are you using modifiers to boost payments? IR centers physicians dominate the top 10 physicians nationally for utilization of CPT 37243 and 37242. What are you doing to protect against audits and future CMS cuts? How do you promote autonomy when your model is predicated on high volume embolization work to cover significant expenses including MSO expenses, snd PE investor returns in many practices you contract with? How exactly does your model improve access when in many markets such as Raleigh, St. Louis, Denver, Phoenix, Memphis, Virginia Beach and Miami among others-these services were being offered by interventional radiologists achieving excellent outcomes without a direct financial incentive for the referring surgical practice? I have no question about your talent and some of the top people who work with you. I have no doubt many patients have benefited. I loved STREAM and once upon a time you were my IR hero because you taught a guy I have the utmost respect for in Ari Isaacson. Like I said before Ari is one a few folks in your group I have a ton of respect for regardless of my opinions of their employment circumstances. The moment you went full tilt monetizing this platform of yours is the moment things changed drastically. And just because you’ve done good for IR in the past does not make you immune from what we are seeing in the present market as a direct result of your business decisions. Clearly I am among at least several hundred of us if not more who feel this way. Your process of contracting with surgical practices has created the expectation that IR be used as a revenue generating asset. Many urology practices are now trying to do this with other copycat MSOs or on their own because they don’t want to pay you 20% in perpetuity. Your own operations leave something to be desired in many markets or I wouldn’t be hearing about it. In the process, we have not empowered IRs to be truly autonomous. We have transferred ownership from DR groups to surgical practices. Just because you provide an employment alternative that may be superior to many DR based alternatives, does not mean you have advanced or secured a better future for IRs. When these codes change (and they will) things will look very different. You will have sold by then so why should we believe a word you say? Do you not believe in the ability for IRs to work truly independently and autonomously? The fact that you are promoting this way of practicing and you have directly told me that trying to work outside of these surgical practices is like being on “the fringes of medicine” suggests to me as otherwise. Has it occurred to you that maybe medicine isn’t meant to be scaled? Discredit me or others like me all you want. But my voice does mean something and I spend a lot of time helping others behind me just like you once did. I’ve now met many in your own group who have reached out to me independently. If you think there’s noise out here, you may want to see what’s going on internally.

Tua has benefited from a soft schedule, nation's best receiving corps, RB corps, pass protection and defense. Kyler has OU in the playoff hunt despite one of the nation's worst defenses. Heisman advantage, Kyler.
