Remote patient monitoring companies are grappling with UnitedHealth's decision to cut some coverage.
you think we may see Bradyn Swinson in the near future?
I am afraid the genie is out of the bottle. Little too late Sam.

it is very 90s humor in that a straight man is freaking out about a legitimate problem but is looked at like he is the crazy guy. That was like half of the sitcom plots in the 90s.
Instagram is now I'd guess about 65% Sora 2 videos. It's almost unbearable.
100 percent. They're not a team I watch week in and week out, obviously...so I didn't know what to expect. He's not bad.
Rattler played well and deserves credit. Don't think he's a game breaker but after watching a lot of piss poor QB play around the league, he's clearly established himself as a starter.
Aw man. Bruce was a really great guy. As an avid follower of Boston sports, his media blog was a must read for me back in the day. When I started out in my career, I reached out to him for advice a few times and he was happy to respond. RIP.
A law restricting PBMs will pass Congress this year, says Rep. Buddy Carter (R-Ga.). And he predicts his bill (delinking, spread pricing, transparency) will be part of a healthcare package in December. And yes, he remembers what Elon Musk did to the previous December healthcare package.
Hospitals and health systems are looking to revenue cycle management companies to help them level the playing field with insurers.
Robert Redford made us believe that journalists could look like Robert Redford. Now THAT'S acting.
RIP.
Last week I sat down with Epic founder and CEO Judy Faulkner for a wide ranging interview. We talked about the about the role Epic has played in health system consolidation, its future product roadmap and the changing definition of interoperability.

A recent KLAS Research report found 93% of health systems are projecting moderate, significant or deep adoption of ambient AI tools within the next six months. Take a look inside the companies that might be recording your next appointment.

My latest: Are investors valuing AI companies too generously if health systems can’t justify the costs of these tools without reimbursement?

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.
I want Otter's new year's resolution to be more reliable.
If this feels like a plot out of law and order it's because it was in fact a plot out of law and order

From NYT:
The Trump administration has promised widespread cuts to the federal government workforce, could ONC/ASTP be a target? It has been targeted before. I asked Micky Tripathi and he was pretty clear cut.

Pro tip: The Biden administration is proposing to cover drugs for obesity in Medicare and Medicaid, not for weight loss generally. That's an important distinction medically, and also legally, since Medicare is prohibited from covering drugs for weight loss.
Hard to say if this will stick at all. Kennedy is anti-Ozempic, Dr. Oz is pro-Ozempic...will either definitely be confirmed?

Mount Sinai opened its $100M AI center for research and development today. Chatted with Dr. Eric Nestler about it and how they can bridge the worlds of research and clinical care. @mountsinainyc.bsky.social

Federal costs for health care are overwhelmingly for Medicare, Medicaid, the ACA, and the tax exemption for employer-sponsored health benefits.
