@PAInsuranceDept , just so you know, @cigna is denying post op PT on a patient who underwent a complex fusion for a spinal burst fracture. Why pay for an expensive surgery but not the rehab needed to recover? Make it make sense.

@aetna at it again. P2P denial of microdisc in setting of acute neurologic weakness. “@aetna policy is still 6 wks of PT bc 4/5 is not *that* weak.” Idk, if I were 75 yo living alone & had my quad give out on stairs several times already, I would report this to @PAInsuranceDept

@DrDiGiorgio Agree- not to mention a lot of “simultaneous” surgeries are really overlapping anesthesia time in one room with surgery in the other, which definitely can increase throughput

@PAInsuranceDept @AetnaHelp @PAInsuranceDept Thanks for your help- @aetna denial overturned on appeal! Thank you for having my back getting patients what they medically need and already pay for! 🥰 those @DGlaucomflecken skits about grab bag of denials are hilarious but too spot-on for my liking…
