Preauth approval for next week’s surgery received in the mail ✅

Yup, my insurance denied a preauth for a particular GI test for my son. Turned out the doctor who signed off on the denial was a plastic surgeon. Called them on it - preauth granted.

Allegedly getting surgery on Monday, preauth still "processing"

At what point does my hospital give it up and reschedule me

Have the doctor suggest to patients that they ask the pharmacy to run what their copay would be if it were written as "brand name only" and whether it needs a preauth. Some plans need the preauth, some don't.

They JUST put the preauth in on Monday btw, 5 business days before the surgery was scheduled 🙃

Proof-of-concept code for an unpatched Windows WDS preauth DoS is live after Microsoft declined to patch it:

Doc sends Rx to pharmacy.

Pharmacy sends off to insurance for approval.

Insurance wants preauth from Doc.

How ‘bout we go with the 1st step, *the doc sent in the Rx*, I’m guessing he authorized it.

I’m tired of stoopy stuff and stoopy pain. Fuck all this noise.
🤔 😔

The idea that preauth (oversight by the profitmakers) will solve a spending problem is laughable, because insurers are denying services to reduce payouts.

Han trobat una de les portes del darrera que l’NSA portava anys fent servir, toca tancar-la XD.

Dr successfully appealed! Let's see if I can get some relief 😮‍💨 Preauth is still some bullshit though.
Insurance company says no migraine meds for me. Suffering it is😮‍💨

the pharmacy claims they did a preauth and got denied

the insurance did not receive a preauth request from the pharmacy

absolutely fuck them, going to see if i can do a complaint with a regulatory board about this
it seems the pharmacy probably never even tried to run the prescription based on this

just,,, vibes level “OH THATS A SCARY LOT OF ESTROGEN WE CAN’T APPROVE THATTTTTT”

fucking assholes

also seems like diabetes doesn’t affect starting dose, so, i can move ahead as soon as it’s filled!!!

Tina Smith now, asking about AI in HC. HICs are using AI for preauth decisions, does he think that’s good?
Oz answers about preauth in general, not AI. Smith redirects citing concerning decisions about limiting care without human intervention.

Co-signed.

I have to get reauthorized every year for the only drug that helps with my idiopathic hypersomnia. The preauth process is so obnoxious that my sleep medicine specialist hired an outside firm to help manage it.

had a really bad day today. mri i’m supposed to have tomorrow on my back got the preauth denied by insurance. my doctor is gonna work on them we have a few routes to try but every day i sleep less and spend more time in pain so … idk. discouraged. not able to do much these days beyond my day job

There are three broad factors as to why preauth is a thing

1. the procedures are expensive
2. they want to divert you to another, cheaper treatment if they can
3. some doctors are quacks. This will come up again when we get to denials.

Doctors get really mad about pre auth, but see point 3.

she needs a preauth

I stayed in the hospital a total of 4 days last week on an antibiotics IV. I received a preauth denial from my insurance. While this appears to be in error and will likely be corrected, I did get to see the total cost of my stay without anything written off.

$47,000.

US healthcare is such a scam

...they only cover 50% of. They did get preauth for this thankfully, but there's still the coinsurance. Depending on how things go it could end at 4 weeks or go as long as ten weeks.

As for how I'm feeling. Like absolute shit, but that's to be expected after this adventure.
