Hey Cigna Healthcare do your job please

Dear Cigna Healthcare my patient who is insured by you has been critically ill in the ICU for days and we have been on the phone for hours to get approval for lifesaving therapies to no avail. This is incredibly unethical and it is frustrating that you can get away with such behavior.

The ED Boarding crisis is so unbelievably demoralizing. I am burnt out and worse at all of my other duties. The ED is literally the worst place in the hospital for providers and patients and the c-suite UC San Francisco has done nothing meaningful to help.

Very excited for this upcoming event with my mentor @TraceyDechert on pathways to surgical equity. She has inspired so many. Put it on your calendar! UC Davis Surgery UC Davis Socially Responsible Surgery
