Oh, the Medicare plans have been using AI for a while to prior authorize (or rather deny requests) for nursing home or rehab care.
More the reason to stay far away from RFK Jr. I’ve heard he bites.
Here are the service categories. But CMS has yet to release a list of the actual procedures. The NCDs and LCDs do not have procedure codes. For example, “diagnosis and treatment of impotence” is a service category, but what the heck types of procedures fall into that?
The Medicare Recovery Auditors have been paid to deny payment for care since 2009. They denied liberally in the hopes providers would not have the resources to appeal.
Say it- RFK Jr is a serial killer! He has already killed in Samoa and will kill again.
Ability to adjust weather maps with a Sharpie is a must have competency
Was this a tour of The Gilded Age homes?
Eating breakfast and got to see nature in action
Can't someone stop RFK Jr from biting people? www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
I would pay money for an app that will immediately set off a notification and an alarm when Trump dies so I can stop obsessively checking @cnn.com for that headline. But of course, I don’t want a notification about the next celebrity engagement or the next law that Trump violates.
RFK murdered over 50 children in Samoa with his anti-vaccine advocacy. His serial killing is all over the world.
@joho.bsky.social is a national treasure. His book is a masterpiece takedown of the COVID deniers whose actions killed people. redhawkpublications.com/We-Want-Them...
Trump not pay a contractor? Say it ain’t so!!
Makary needs to get over it. I’ve got an idea for him- start regulating supplements - demand scientific evidence of clinical benefit just like he wanted with masks and vaccines.
Trip to Party City? Oh wait…
It’s a tragedy…that Party City went bankrupt and closed all its stores.
That is hilarious!!!
Beware- men in those six states will have their info entered into AI if they want Viagra -- "diagnosis and treatment of impotence" will require prior auth under WISeR.
Your lawn does not need to look like a golf course. Stop killing nature with toxic lawn fertilizers and weed control. Promote native landscaping - wildones.org
HHS/CMS does almost no audits themselves. Everything is outsourced to private companies. Even the OIG contracts Maximus to do their audits. "Pay to deny" started in 2005 with the RAC (and we know how those contractors abused the privilege) Now WISeR will be second program.
And they will be paying the companies with the AI programs based on “savings,” aka to deny medical care. Will be interesting to see if AI evolves to deny more to help its employer.
For Republican voters, "right to life" ends at birth. They could care less about protecting, feeding, or educating all children.
☝️☝️ SERIAL KILLER ☝️☝️
How come he was allowed to use his cell phone and I can’t when I fly?
It appears RFK Jr’s serial killing plan includes our veterans and not just ordinary Americans. Stop him now!
He is a serial killer.
He’d be another random NFL tight end if he wasn’t dating, now engaged to, Taylor.
"Patient has a beating heart. Approved for COVID vaccine"
Breaking News: Top CDC scientist resigns. Dr. Debra Houry had "a long history of working across seemingly partisan divides." We are all doomed. RFK Jr is a serial killer and determined to kill as many Americans as possible. open.substack.com/pub/insideme...
A box of Kraft Mac & Cheese cures all!
On the positive side, our health insurance premiums will go down if insurers no longer have to pay for all that costly chemotherapy, surgery and radiation therapy. Hospice is a whole lot cheaper 🙄
Life in prison until his family buys a bunch of Trump's cryptocurrency then he will get a pardon and citizenship for his family.
And that's why I post a pic every time I see it (and so should everyone else)

urologist!
Yep! He already is killing children in Samoa and a few in the US
You can't call nephrology fast enough!!! They LOVE hyponatremia! @kidneyboy.bsky.social will confirm that!
Just when you thought United Health Group/UHC/Optum couldn’t get more evil… kffhealthnews.org/news/article...
He’s attacking @ameracadpeds.bsky.social because they spoke out about starvation of children in Gaza.
Does raw milk treat this condition? 🙄
I do miss the robust medical discussions that happened on that other site. Learned so much!
This is the article you need to read today to cleanse your mind and learn about a fascinating creature.
Trump has turned the White House into a brothel. What the f**k is wrong with him?!!
Sensitive nasal passages in those ED docs — they get nose bleeds if they have to go above the first floor of the hospital.
South Park repeat of that episode last night crashed the Fortnight server!
Back in the old days, hitting pleural fluid was always a celebration when doing a thoracentesis by percussion and palpation. Heck, even a successful paracentesis was cause for celebration. But you're right -- nothing like the perfect LP.
@brianhiestand.bsky.social - yes! Why is this still a thing after 2 1/2 years???
Already written - Coronary www.goodreads.com/book/show/64...
Of course. He was home with his kids for two weeks and begged to get his job back so he don’t have to parent them. That’s why he opposed Covid school closings- too much parenting for his ego.
The Washington Trials of War Crimes by ICE will rival the Nuremburg Trials after WW II. And hopefully the real Alcatraz will be reopened by then so the ICE agents can be imprisoned there.

Maxwell was raping children herself, not just helping Trump and Epstein do it!
Dean Cain is no Pat Tillman; Cain's a washed up actor promoting hate and violence, not defending our country. www.cnn.com/2025/08/07/e...
Why is no one talking about the wild ending to this week’s The Gilded Age??!!
Ok, I'll play. Why is it so crowded on a Monday? It's usually the weekends with the worst crowds. (And happy to support them even with lines rather than shop at Target!)
Love when screening works but sad that it shows that once again addressing the social determinants of health has so far to go. And angry that RFK Jr is determined to resist any effort to reduce health disparities or even measure the effects of these disparities and the effects of SDoH.
Politics over data??? No, not the Trump/RFKJr/Bhattacharya/Makary/Means cartel!!!!
I loved the "spend more time with family." He's the guy that opposed shutting down schools in COVID because he did not want to be stuck at home watching his kids.
Let him charge health insurance companies first!! That’s true organized crime- UHC, Aetna, Blue Cross, etc.
Miracles do happen.
You mean giving Suprep for colonoscopy prep or to avoid constipation?
And he just officially abolished birthright citizenship www.hhs.gov/guidance/doc...
It's official- children born in the US are not automatically citizens without a "qualifying parent" per EO from Dictator Trump. www.hhs.gov/guidance/doc...

I wish I could have watched. I was sound asleep then woke up in recovery apparently saying inappropriate things. One patient of mine reportedly started singing Star Spangled Banner during her scope. Talk about no filter… 🤣
Your article on Makary's blind spots is an absolute masterpiece! Thank you!!!! vajenda.substack.com/p/marty-maka...
The choreography is superb! Credit to Trump staff. So many moving parts to get that perfect shot!
We learn Trump is on Aspirin for CAD prevention. USPSTF does not recommend ASA for primary prevention -> RFK Jr shuts down USPSTF to avoid scrutiny.
We know money changed hands! Our tax dollars! Who got that money and how much? You have to assume their monarch got a nice bribe to accept these ICE kidnapping victims. www.cnn.com/2025/07/17/a...
They're eating their own!!
This is RFK Jr's version of doing science right??? Change the study results to fit their narrative? I don't think so... RFK Jr, Oz et al are serial killers.
I sure hope every one of those parents files fraud and personal injury lawsuits against that doctor!
It's all about corruption even in HHS with people's lives at stake - All that matters is - What's in it for RFK Jr and his pals? kffhealthnews.org/news/article...
The corruption and conflicts of interest at HHS are immense with RFK Jr. kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

He can't let his job get in the way of his tee times on his golf courses...
Please ensure FEMA is functioning to help those Americans and all Americans when disaster strikes. Do not let Trump decimate another crucial govt agency for personal ego and financial gain.

If Elon thinks this will convince me to buy a Tesla, he's mistaken. I am waiting for the Chinese electric cars, just like Jim Farley, CEO of Ford www.businessinsider.com/ford-ceo-chi...
Quite the case for term limits. At least for their last term, our elected officials can do what we elected them to do, as Thom Tillis is doing now and not be constantly groveling for money and support for reelection.
Stephen Miller and RFK Jr are both serial killers. And the blood is on Trump’s hands!
Headline to Read-- Stephen Miller joins RFK Jr as a Trump Administration Serial Killer
Kuldorff starts by claiming (lying) that one COVID infection gives lifetime immunity to future infection
Pass. You’ll just be a publicity tool for them and draw more listeners to their crap
Serial killer RFK Jr.
He signs his name to his social media posts!!! Who does that but a demented person who thinks they are dictating a letter?
Can't wait for all the false positives. Watch health care expenditures skyrocket...
And the federal General Accountability Office agrees the restrictions are harmful! links-2.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2...
Hard to know which one is a more telling sign of his worsening dementia...
In a devious public relation plan, RFK Jr just took away ACA health coverage from all #DACA recipients without anyone noticing by also announcing a deal with insurers to "reform" prior auth. This final rule was released and ignored by the media- urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=htt...
Why does he sign his name to his posts? Does he think when he writes a post, it gets printed on paper and hand-delivered to the subject of the post?
GAO did criticize abortion restrictions...this is typical Republican payback links-2.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2...
