@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…

I would like to propose the creation of a relative value unit system for administrators to update q15 min during their other tasks to justify their productivity and ongoing effectiveness to the clinicians whose patient care financially supports their very presence; end rant.
