"I'm in too much pain to the point that I can't tolerate it anymore."

"Please please please I beg"

Our research on #priorAuthorization shows there's a large component of human suffering due to #priorAuth denials.

Nobody should suffer or die due to prior authorization. No one.

The importance of screening, overcoming stigma during Lung Cancer Awareness Month November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month - a time to raise awareness about America’s leading cancer killer. Lung cancer kills more people each year than breast, prostate, and colon cancers combined.

Jim Pantelas @yojimbo52.bsky.social is a 19 year survivor of advanced lung cancer. A great guy and an awesome advocate. www.wxyz.com/news/voices/...

What is Medigap? Your guide to Medicare supplement insurance | medicareresources.org Medicare supplement insurance, or Medigap, is insurance that supplements Original Medicare, covering some or all of the out-of-pocket costs that a beneficiary would otherwise have to pay for services ...

A quick reminder that Medicare open enrollment does not apply to Medigap (Medicare Supplement) plans. In most states, there is no annual open enrollment period for Medigap. Here's more about how Medigap plans work: www.medicareresources.org/medicare-ben...
