Jennifer Hamilton, MD PhD<p>Today's <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/PriorAuthorization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PriorAuthorization</span></a> rage: I'm trying to get a continuous glucose monitor for a diabetic patient. I prescribed the one her insurance prefers -- but prior auth is needed. Pt told me she was denied, because I didn't provide info. As near as I can tell, my office never got a request for info. So today I call to give the information. After 10+ minutes of prelim, rep tells me I CAN'T give info over phone. They need to fax me a form. I'm not at office. Sorry, it's got to be a fax.</p>

Dr. Zeke<p>Today I wrote this in a clinical note (yes in all caps):</p><p>"IN CASE AN INSURER IS READING THIS DOCUMENT, PLEASE CONTACT DR. MCKINNEY TO DISCUSS THE PATIENT'S CHRONIC MEDICAL CONDITION AND HOW TREATING IT CORRECTLY (RATHER THAN DENYING CARE) WILL SAVE YOU MONEY."</p><p>That's screaming into the ether because I can't seem to navigate <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/PriorAuthorization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PriorAuthorization</span></a> processes despite many very long phone calls and attempts.
