You might think that Medicare coverage is consistent across the country, but that's not always the case. Many coverage decisions are made at the local level by Medicare Administrative Contractors.

    Hi Gary, I’ve been battling gout for a long time, my attacks are often triggered by running impact.

    This is my job, I am employed to an insurance company and we are the one reviewing and asking questions to the Md, nurses or medical assistants who are submitting PA for the patient. Most of the time, medications that requires PA are those medications that are too expensive and contains opioid that is an addicting substance. This is to avoid abuse, overussage and to reduce cost, no matter what u say, insurance is still a business you know. If the patient really needs the medication, it is being approved most of the time.

    Thank you for doing this video. I have just been diagnosed with mild thyroid eye disease. I got it while being treated for graves with PTU. Didn't respond well to methimazole. Vasculitis. Trying PTU will find out tomorrow if PTU is incompatible with me. Rumatology is looking to see if it is causing issues for internal or (vasculitis) I see in the requirements for treatment with Tepeza, that you have to have moderate TED. Can I get this treatment while off thyroid medication and actively hyperthyroid? May I get this medication if I have mild ted? Thank you ladies and thank you Wes. You are brave and I know it totally sucks to have this, good luck to you sir.

    Have you ever noticed that you get gout flareups during winter? it's because you don't drink as much water during winter than summer, when you get a flare up drink water often, yes you will need to go to the toilet a lot more but you will be flushing out the crystals and diluting their concentrations in the affected joint. This has been working for me.

    It seems like uncontrolled high blood sugar causes an inflammatory response in the circulatory system, which then connects to your CV organs and your eyes. The inflammatory response causes scarring of the tissues---so this leads to things like scarring of the retina in diabetic retinopathy, scarring of the renals that lead to ESRF, and scarring of the heart--which can lead to enlarged heart, cardiac arrest, heart attack, and even heart failure.

Its not some new illness that came out of nowhere. Criminals all the way. Why doesnt the video say how millions of people are suffering from it because they were just prescribed drugs to shut them up or dope them up and how people do need to get off the meds but in a safe way.

    I'd really love to know which brand name medication (at the time of the production of this video) doesn't have a generic name listed with the brand name. Also, I'd love to hear of instances where this has happened without a doctor sending a new prescription in or at least OK'ing it over the phone ahead of time. It's also been my experience that pharmacists are significantly more acutely aware of the difference in efficiency of brand name vs generic drugs of all types, the consequences of changing from one drug to another without access to the patients EHR and their legal liability and the potential criminal consequences.

  • @burtonabrams7476

    The extreme pain of a gout flare is an alarm signal that something in the body is seriously wrong. It is up to the doctor to figure out the underlying cause, as recommended by Terkeltaub and Edwards in their book about gout. If there is no investigation into the cause of gout, just prescribing NSAIDs muffles the alarm, and just prescribing urate lowering drugs disables the alarm. Nowadays in only a small minority of cases, gout is the warning of lead toxicity. In a large majority of cases, it is the warning of chronic intermittent hypoxemia from sleep apnea, which is why most gout flares originate during sleep. The hypoxemia leads to gout by: generation of much excess uric acid from all oxygen-starved cells; serum acidosis which makes serum uric acid more likely to precipitate; increase in serum lactate, which leads to URAT1 reducing renal reabsorption of uric acid; and gradual reduction of the glomerular filtration rate which slows the removal of serum uric acid. One of the first things that should be done when gout first occurs is a sleep study, followed by effective sleep apnea treatment when warranted, after which the hypoxemic causes of gout flares will no longer occur. If the sleep apnea goes unresolved for too long, the patient’s risk will be significantly elevated for developing the many life-threatening consequences of sleep apnea, which usually are misunderstood to be metabolic comorbidities of gout, and lead to a shortened lifespan, even with the use of urate lowering drugs. Gout is an early warning! Resolving the sleep apnea should result in no more gout flares. It is important to avoid the use of urate lowering drugs up to that point to be sure that it was the sleep apnea resolution which led to no more gout flares. If the flares recur, other underlying causes need to be investigated. If the flares no longer occur, then urate lowering drugs will probably be needed to accelerate the dissolution of all the urate crystals throughout the body that accumulated from all the previous apneic episodes.

    Clinical Pathways: When Personalized Health Care Goes Off Course Narrated by David charles,MD. Think of you and your doctor on a journey maybe you face a basic challenge like a sinus infection or perhaps something more serious like Parkinson's disease are even cancer whatever the case your doctor is there to guide you toward better health he does that by listening to what you’re experiencing taking your medical history conducting an exam and analyzing the results of diagnostic tests putting all this together your doctor creates a treatment path for you it’s a custom design route to get you closer to full health but suppose your treatment path wasn’t so individualized suppose instead that your insurance company tried to restrict the treatment plan advised by your physician in an attempt to force a one-size all treatment path such paths have a variety of names clinical pathways care pathways critical pathways patients on clinical pathways receive predetermined treatment options in a predetermined order the standardized course of care is based on general data about patient and disease types and these pathways are increasingly popular with insurance companies some are excellent and are developed by expert physicians working within their professional societies others are less rigorous and primarily focused on cost-cutting when Clinical Pathways prioritize cost savings instead of individual patients they can have an unpleasant result a one-size-fits-all approach to patient care you see the Clinical Pathways that focused on cost may direct physicians to prescribe cheaper medication as a patient’s primary option this approach can reduce insurance companies expenses but how might it affect you do you still receive individualized care from your doctor or are you just one of the many patients on the clinical pathway each receiving the same low cost drug as the first line of care patient centered healthcare demands a personalized approach to your unique healthcare that means allowing the doctor patients relationship not cost cutting to guide your path to wellness
