Gotcha, I appreciate you sharing that info. Most of my software development history is non- medical; I began working w insurance data when I began employment at Trinity in 2019. I'm on PTO at the moment, but details like these are exactly what I plan to follow up on more when I return to work soon.

I'm not in a senior leadership position either, but I want to ask them about their thoughts to help support patients impacted by the current, non-scientific HHS regime

I will as much as I can. We are of course heavily impacted by the current situation, but my organization strives to bridge gaps between what insurance covers & what patients can afford.

I wasn't certain but my husband the actuary clarified all that for me. By controlling Medicare/Medicaid coverage Kennedy can inflict even more evil.

Yep, & I believe we'll need to get increasingly creative with strategies to combat the administration's unscientific, inhumane methods. I'm hoping we can work with more local government and privatized, non-governmental financial support to help protect people, but ofc that's a whole new ball of wax.
