United has now removed her from approved provider list, so her patients can no longer see her. She had to sell her house & get a lawyer. United is making her lose her career for exposing them.

│
│ PLEASE keep talking about this. This is so wrong. Imagine busting your ass, going into debt, and sacrificing some of the best years of your life going to school and training to be able to become a surgeon and then being treated like this. Insurance companies should not have so much power. The doctor shortage will continue to get worse
│
│ Edit: had no idea this thread or my comment would get some much visibility. I linked the gofundmepage simply in hopes of providing more context to this situation, but you can also find information via other channels such as:
│ Dr. Potter talking with Dr. Mike a couple months ago.
│
│ Dr. Potter's instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drelisabethpotter/ @drelisabethpotter
│
│ Also, the physician shortage is a complex issue, but we cannot be surprised about the the addiction, burnout and suicide rates in the field when physicians are dealing with infuriating situations like this regularly. And not just physicians but the many other occupations like pharmacists, physical therapists, nurses, SLPs, CNAs etc. who also experiencing moral distress due to policies that push for profits above all. Thank you for caring.

│ │ │ My parents PT practice went out of business because insurance companies would approve care and then simply not pay. A small practice like theirs can’t afford to hire a person whose only job was to go after payments. We’re in a nose dive to providing less and less care as profits must grow.

│ │ │ │ This makes me angry for them. I worked in PT billing/appeal/payment recovery and there is so much BS providers have to do. (One of my favorite cases to appeal was from UHC. They refused to pay a 900k COVID claim. We had everything. Auth, documentation of calls with their nurses, reference numbers, certified mail, etc. They denied it for all those different reasons. I had to appeal to all of them and it took me a year. They fukking declined for timely filing! I was furious they tried to send that bill to our patient's family after he died. So, I filed a complaint against DMHC and won. They had to pay in full and pay additional 75k in fines. It was awesome. Got them to pay 1 million. One of my biggest accomplishments. I was so proud to stick it to them. Those fukkers.

│ │ People don't understand that peaceful protests are really only viable when the people in power see them as AN ALTERNATIVE to the other option.
│ │
│ │ If the protests are ONLY peaceful, there's really nothing threatening them.
│ │
│ │ You need a credible threat of real consequences to make change happen. "Speak softly and carry a big stick".
│ │
│ │ People like our man in green are the stick.
