Did you know? That for Medicare advantage enrollees, we pay $2300 more for less care and coverage than the traditional fee for service model. It is a terrific example of how metrics are abused and quality is manipulated. Theoretically, it was designed to lower costs and

Here is a lesson America still hasn’t learned: Competition isn’t chaos. It’s the only way prices go down. When two gas stations sit across the street, the price per gallon drops. When five contractors bid for your kitchen remodel, your quote gets leaner. When ten physicians

New low. Device rep who has contacted me in the past but I’ve ignored since I don’t think they have a good product made a patient appointment with me to get face time. Generic name so I didn’t realize it beforehand.

Tyler Olson, EA I really really appreciate this thread, but would add one more point: consistently auditing your RVUs! You’re playing yourself if you’re entrusting your employer to account for them accurately 🤡

I am out of network to my wife on her insurance policy. I’m going to charge her out of pocket rates whenever she wants to talk to me or ask me a question. Should be fine, right? What’s the worst that can happen?

You’re likely not going to be able to go skiing at 70. You can no longer do the season in Ibiza at 45. Some experiences are only available to you right now. Go and do them.

I always call a patient’s family after surgery to let them know their loved one is safe & how things went. Was taught that’s just the right thing to do. Have been “the family” 3 times in the past few years & haven’t had the same courtesy. Has what I thought was the norm changed?

We love hotdogs & rotisserie chickens as much as the next person but please stop telling people their Costco card counts as a REAL ID because it absolutely does not.

Please disregard the medical opinion of any physician claiming doctors profit off keeping you sick and then in their next breath, try to sell you their own unregulated, non-evidence based supplements.

Was honored to be invited back to where I did my fellowship University of Texas Houston Urology and MD Anderson Cancer Center to talk about Aquablation PROCEPT BioRobotics with residents and faculty. Was great being back in Houston, where it’s impossible to have a bad meal!

Scene 2: Inside UCLA Health UCLA Health But she didn’t go to the private clinic. She walked into UCLA Health. And that’s where the math changes. UCLA isn’t just the health system. They’re partners in the Medicaid plan. Hell! They own the building. They set the rules. They

Patients are entitled to their medical records. The immediate release of results that most institutions MyChart does is not always the best. Delayed release allows time for patients’ physicians to have time to look at results & deliver news the right way. dallasnews.com/opinion/commen…
