For patients and doctors, insurance prior authorization can be a dangerous game | Opinion
Doctors trying to get patients necessary drugs and procedures stymied by health insurance prior authorization. It's not a game. It's life and death.

"For both patients and providers, prior authorization can feel like an unfair game they are designed to lose."
Honored to work w/ Dr @nathangray.bsky.social on a graphic op-ed out now @usatoday.com on how #PriorAuth can leave some patients literally dying in pain.

If we look at the arch of history, nobody should mistake #KidVengers for underdogs when literally EVERY YEAR they "pretend" to be behind before doubling their total in the last 24 hours and (almost always) stealing victory. They just love kids too much. 🥹🙄
I have to fly down the Rio Grand Valley to document this #HCWvsHunger donation. ✈️🍎
My 4th #HCWvsHunger donation is to support @nokidhungry.org (at the urging of our incredible junior captain for #DiagnoseAndTreats @kemimdrad.bsky.social)
Your 💸 stretches x3️⃣ further due to generous matching dollars.
🍎 The time is now to help feed hungry kids, the need has never been greater.

Every year since 2020 my retired #radonc mom donates to #HCWvsHunger by supporting her church's food ministry. Almost invariably, she sends me a photo of her check too late for me to actually log.
BUT NOT THIS YEAR. Her donation will count ✅❤️🍎 #DiagnoseAndTreats
