Patient on Humira or biosimilar for years for IBD and Blue Cross is denying and requiring peer to peer. And likely I will be talking to a gynecologist.

I remember the drive to work on 9/11/2001. I was on active duty and was listening to the chaos on the radio. It was a horrible event but it reminded us all we are on the same team. Take a page from Charlie Kirk and discuss issues. You may not agree but you might understand.
