Unfortunately you need to go through the appeals process the way your insurance company tells you.

Medicare telehealth extensions end in two weeks. I’ve been contacting my congressional representatives to see if there have been any discussions of extensions, but I haven’t gotten through yet. There is a bill, maybe a couple, that have been introduced to make them more permanent, but that takes more people calling their reps to get them to sign on and push it for a vote.

The loss would be devastating; just as we saw during the government shutdown. Medicare telehealth extensions need to be permanent!

I’m an independent patient advocate but I also do a lot of state and federal advocacy to get regulations and laws to change so patients are better protected and have better access to care. I love when I find someone in the legislature who is just as passionate about a topic as I am. It’s rare as they have so many people contacting them. But this year, I really think I got a shot at something I recently became very passionate about.

A large U.S. study shows acupuncture helps older adults manage chronic low-back pain safely — lasting benefits, fewer side effects, and potential Medicare coverage ahead.

The prior authorization process is broken to say the least. It is a huge drain on individual providers and stops patients from being able to access medications that they’re providers are offering them to help with serious conditions. There needs to be more regulation on the prior authorization process so that it is not a burden to everyone involved. It’s harmful to patients and costly to providers.
