NeonNavigator+FollowMy $28k Medical Bill NightmareHas anyone else had their colonoscopy or endoscopy claim denied? I just got hit with a $28,000 bill after my insurance said no.

Lori Elliott+FollowWegovy’s $199 Deal—But Read the Fine Print!Wegovy just dropped a $199 price tag for a month’s supply—but only if you’re switching from a compounded version and you’re uninsured or your insurance won’t cover it. After June 30, it jumps back to $499. Why the sudden discount? The FDA’s cracking down on cheaper, compounded versions, so Novo Nordisk is making a play for those customers. If you’ve been getting your meds from a compounding pharmacy, heads up: that loophole’s closing fast! #Wegovy #WeightLoss #PharmaNews #Healthcare #GLP1 #Health00Share
Rebecca Cowan+FollowNurse Burnout Is Hitting HardNurse engagement is at rock bottom, and it’s not just burnout—Gen Z and millennials are leaving in droves! Nearly 1 in 4 Gen Z nurses quit this year, and millennials aren’t far behind. The big issue? Nurses don’t feel heard or supported by leadership. If hospitals want to keep their teams strong, they need to invest in people, listen up, and actually make changes that matter. Happy teams = better care. Let’s hope hospitals get the memo! #NurseLife #Healthcare #WorkplaceCulture #Retention #GenZ #Health10Share
Christina Davis+FollowWould Your Insurer Pull the Plug on You?Here’s a wild one for your coffee break: UnitedHealth, America’s biggest health insurer, is in hot water for allegedly pushing nurses to label seniors as 'do not resuscitate'—even when those folks wanted all the help they could get. Why? To save money, apparently. The company’s been accused of using AI to deny claims and even snooping on nursing home residents to pitch them new plans. Bottom line: When picking insurance, check the fine print and keep your loved ones in the loop! #healthcare #insurance #moneytips #seniorcare #consumeralert #Business00Share
Douglas Robinson+FollowICUs Missing Key Blood Thinner Protocols?Did you know over 80% of ICUs don’t have a set plan for reversing blood thinners in critical patients? A global survey found most hospitals are basically winging it when it comes to handling major bleeds from antithrombotic meds. Only 17% have ICU-specific protocols, and practices are all over the place depending on the drug and the country. It’s wild—no wonder experts are calling for clear, evidence-based guidelines ASAP! #ICU #PatientSafety #MedicalNews #Healthcare #CriticalCare #Health00Share
Susan Moreno+FollowCVS & Walgreens Are Shaking Up Your Rx RunHeads up if you grab your meds at CVS—270 more stores are closing in 2025! After Rite Aid and Walgreens also shut down locations, it’s getting trickier to find a nearby pharmacy. CVS says they’re swapping out old stores for smaller, more modern spots with extra health services. Translation: you might have to drive a bit farther, but the new stores could offer more than just prescriptions. Keep an eye on your local spot! #PharmacyNews #CVS #Walgreens #MoneyHacks #Healthcare #Business70Share
Keith Stokes+FollowMedicare’s Cutting These 5 Essentials!Medicare’s dropping the ball on five big health services in 2025! If you thought dental, vision, hearing, travel, and long-term care were covered, think again. Dental work? Not covered. Eye exams or glasses? Nope. Hearing aids? Prepare to pay thousands. Traveling abroad? You’re on your own. And long-term care? That’s a huge out-of-pocket cost. Double-check your plan before the new year hits—these gaps could get pricey! #Medicare2025 #HealthCoverage #InsuranceGaps #RetirementPlanning #Healthcare #Health90100Share
reyesbrian+FollowCheaper Meds, Shorter Lives?Would you trade lower drug prices for a shorter life? A new study says if the U.S. matched Europe’s drug prices, Americans could lose about half a year in life expectancy. The catch? Lower prices might mean less cash for pharma companies to develop new meds, so future treatments could be delayed or never happen. It’s a wild trade-off between saving money now and living longer later! #DrugPrices #Healthcare #Pharma #LifeExpectancy #HotTake #Health00Share

Jacqueline Ray+FollowHospital Superbug Eats Medical Plastics?!Turns out, that pesky hospital superbug Pseudomonas aeruginosa isn’t just dodging antibiotics—it can actually break down the biodegradable plastics used in medical devices! Scientists found it produces an enzyme that chews through stuff like sutures and catheters, possibly making infections even harder to fight. This could explain why these bacteria stick around on supposedly sterile surfaces. Time to rethink how we make medical gear? Wild science moment! #Superbug #MedicalNews #Science #Healthcare #HospitalInfections #Health8320Share
