On #WorldSightDay, we encourage everyone to learn more about retinal conditions and the steps you can take to preserve and protect healthy retinas. Safeguard your sight by knowing the signs and symptoms of retinal disease, recognizing the risks, and seeking early treatment from a retina specialist.

The proposed #Medicare fee schedule includes a terrible policy that would cut payments for same-day patient care across nearly every specialty practice. @CMSGov must withdraw this proposal. #Modifier25 Read more bit.ly/4AXN0Az

You can change the name, but the same shady insurance company tactics persist.
A New York neurosurgery practice has filed a complaint in federal court challenging Elevance Health's policy of penalizing hospitals for working with out-of-network physicians.... even those complying with the No Surprises Act.
For those unfamiliar, @ElevanceHealth was formerly Anthem, which faced years of lawsuits, regulatory scrutiny, and controversy before rebranding in 2022.
It ranks #18 on the Fortune 500 list.
If insurers offer rates that don't cover the cost of delivering care, and hospitals are penalized for working with out-of-network physicians, how does that protect patient access or choice? Who has the leverage here? Who is getting squeezed? Who is contributing to consolidation? 👏Follow 👏the 👏money.

TY! Appreciate you! #ASMFLYIN
I joined @SpecialtyDocs this week to thank them for their work on behalf of healthcare providers and patients as they face the impacts of devastating Medicaid cuts, Americans dropping their insurance, and the spread of medical misinformation. Thank you for all you do.
Glad you were with us this week for #ASMFLYIN !
