.⁦Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield⁩ will cap payment for anesthesia at time limits for CT, NY patients. "This is appalling. Saddling patients with thousands of $ in surprise additional medical debt. And for what? Just to boost corporate profits? "⁦Chris Murphy 🟧⁩ nbcnewyork.com/news/local/ant…

Before you put out lies like it's common for Anesthesia to overbill for time, please cite your sources. Since with EMR, surgical time into the OR to when the Anesthesiologist leaves in PACU is hardwired, please explain your baseless lie that Anesthesia time is overbilled commonly

It's interesting how Loren Adler tries to continue to twist the narrative back against physicians when it continues to be well documented who are those acting in bad faith. healthcareuncovered.substack.com/p/3-billion-wa…

Even though I chair the TMB, myself and all the other physicians on the TMB are actively practicing physicians. When I'm on call, we're typically getting level 1 trauma patients going straight to the operating room, or putting in Epidurals for expectant moms.

It’s official! Thank you Greg Abbott for recognizing January 26-February 1, 2025 as Physician Anesthesiologists week in Texas! The TSA is ready for a great year under the leadership of Amr Abouleish -- a Paleo-Anesthesiologist!

I'm proud of my past service on the FDA Anesthesia and Analgesia Drug Product Advisory Committee, where our purpose was to evaluate new and upcoming drugs for pain control. Chronic pain pts who suffer a debilitating illness deserve to have the best opportunities for treatment

The FSMB is an outstanding organization thst helps make it easier for licensees from different states to get licensed. In 2023, myself and several other members from southern states got elected to be on the Board of Directors. I'm proud of the balance from different states on now

Sherif Zaafran, MD, President of the Texas Medical Board, identifies vertical integration - by both hospital systems and insurers - as having real threats for misaligned incentives in the provision of care to patients. States that the end decision making process needs to be about taking

It is an honor serving with some of the smartest people in Anesthesia on the Committee of Economics. We spent a couple of days having impactful discussions on Medicaid and Medicare along with processes on the No Surprises Act and Alternative Payment Models.

Always great to meet with the strongest voice for physicians on Capitol Hill with Congressman Greg Murphy. As co-chair of the Doc Caucus and a member of House Ways and Means, he's tiressly working on a Medicare Doc Fix as well as stronger enforcement on the No Surprises Act.

My heart is filled with sadness with the news of everyone affected by the power of nature and the catastrophic floods. I pray for the safe return of all those who are still missing. I pray that they are found soon and back in the arms of their families. yahoo.com/news/catastrop…

Voice of Sanity Thank you for alerting us to this. I was made aware of this earlier. This is the response of her employer attached on here. There is no place for politicization. The entire focus needs to be on looking for survivors. Any complaints we may receive will be thoroughly investigated.

As a father who sent his kids to camp all the time, I can't imagine the pain that those who have lost loved ones are going through right now. May God have mercy on all of the beautiful souls that were lost this weekend in this terrible tragedy. They are all angels in heaven now.
