Kevin Craig+FollowInsurers Are Playing Doctor Now?!Aetna and Cigna are basically telling doctors, “We know better”—even if they’ve never seen you. They’re using algorithms to downplay how complex your care is, which means your doctor gets paid less and has to jump through hoops to fight back. This could push more independent docs out of business, jack up prices, and make it even harder to find a doctor who actually has time for you. Wild, right? #Health #BodyHealth #healthcare10Share
Terry Brown+FollowWould You Dump Your Doctor This Fast?Turns out, we judge our doctors way quicker than we think—most of us decide in just 20 minutes if we’ll ever go back. If your doc doesn’t make you feel heard or rushes through your appointment, nearly half of us are ready to bounce. Long hold times and robotic vibes? Also a no-go. We want real connection, not just quick fixes or AI bots. How fast have you decided to switch doctors? #Health #BodyHealth #healthcare00Share
William Vasquez+FollowWhy More Healthcare Workers Worked SickDid you know more healthcare workers kept coming to work with COVID as the pandemic went on? A new study found presenteeism (working while sick) jumped from just 1.4% in 2020 to a wild 15.2% in 2024. The biggest offenders? People with less patient contact and those with higher incomes. Frontline nurses and doctors were actually less likely to show up sick. Turns out, changing rules and remote work made it easier to push through. Wild, right? #Health #BodyHealth #healthcare00Share
Douglas Robinson+FollowWait, You CAN Use Note Templates!Turns out, all those rumors about CMS banning note templates for medical documentation? Totally false! CMS actually allows templates to help doctors and nurses document patient visits—as long as they’re personalized and show why care is needed. Templates can cover the whole visit or just parts like history or exams. Just make sure to update them for each patient so your notes don’t get repetitive or messy. The AMA even has tips to keep you compliant! #Health #BodyHealth #Healthcare00Share
Terry Brown+FollowDouble Billing: The Hospital Ripoff No One Talks AboutEver looked at a hospital bill and thought, “Wait, didn’t I already pay for that?” Turns out, double billing is a sneaky trick hospitals use—charging you twice for the same thing, sometimes with different codes. It’s a hidden headache that can cost you big. Always ask for an itemized bill and double-check those charges. If you’ve spotted a duplicate, you’re not alone—share your story below! #Health #BodyHealth #Healthcare00Share
Sean Cooper+FollowThe ACA let me start my own business without risking my health.For years, I stayed in a corporate job I hated solely for the health insurance. I have a pre-existing heart condition, and leaving my job felt like a death sentence. The Affordable Care Act changed everything. It meant I couldn't be denied coverage just because I was born with a bad heart. Because of that policy, I finally took the leap to open my own bakery three years ago. It’s hard work, but it’s my work. Knowing that I can pursue my dream without risking my life? That is true freedom." #PolicyChangedMyLife #ACA #SmallBusinessOwner #HealthCare #DreamChaser00Share
Jamie Santana+FollowNursing’s ‘Professional’ Status Just Got Axed?!The U.S. just reclassified graduate nursing degrees, stripping them of their ‘professional’ status for federal loans. Medicine and law are still in, but advanced nursing and PA students? Not so much. This means way less financial aid for future nurse practitioners, midwives, and educators—at a time when we’re already desperate for more nurses. It’s a huge blow to the profession and could make healthcare shortages even worse. Why are we making it harder for nurses to help us? #JobCareer #NursingCrisis #Healthcare00Share
Terry Brown+FollowExhaustion in hospitals: How much is too much?A hospital worker at Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospital was found asleep in an operating theatre after using anaesthetic gas to cope with extreme exhaustion. Working up to 70 hours a week, he reached a breaking point and made a risky decision that could have endangered patients. The tribunal called it an isolated incident, but it’s a wake-up call about the real pressures on healthcare staff. If someone as dedicated as this practitioner can snap, what does that say about the demands placed on our frontline workers? How do we balance patient safety with staff wellbeing? #Health #BodyHealth #Healthcare10Share
Andrew Hutchinson+FollowWatch Out for Hospital Billing Traps!Ever get a medical bill that just feels... off? One patient says CommonSpirit hospitals hit them with wrong charges two years in a row, and now the bills are headed to collections! Others chimed in with similar horror stories—delayed bills, ignored insurance calls, and radio silence from the hospital. Pro tip: double-check your bills, keep records, and don’t be afraid to escalate. Anyone else had to fight for a fair bill? Spill your stories below! #Health #BodyHealth #healthcare60Share
Beth Burton+FollowCMS Drops a New Rule for SpecialistsCMS just finalized a big change: starting in 2027, a quarter of U.S. specialists treating heart failure or low-back pain will be required to join a new value-based payment model. If you’re a cardiologist or pain doc in a selected city, your Medicare pay could swing up or down by 9% based on how you stack up against local peers. It’s all about quality, cost, and care coordination—no more coasting on volume! #Health #BodyHealth #healthcare80Share
