1/Please share this thread on behalf of my physician colleague, Eunice Stallman, who is facing the nightmare of her 9mo daughter, Zoey, being diagnosed with brain cancer several weeks ago. @BlueCrossIdaho has added to their anguish by obstructing access to vital treatment.

Physicians: End the uncompensated administrative burden and extortion of MOC
@PPA_USA is doing the work, and @HPECid has made the commitment to help, will you also make the commitment and donate to #EndMOC?

Do I have this right?
- ABIM requires yearly fees from physicians who are already cert to “maintain certification”
- no evidence that MOC helps pt care
- ABIM will report you as “not certified” if you don’t pay
- hospitals require certification
Idk kinda sounds like extortion
Nope. Not happening until I find out what this gets me , @ABIMFoundation. What are we paying for? I’m certified…I took my boards and passed them.
Great work @drbreenheroes and the Oregon Medical Board oregon.gov/omb/Topics-of-Int… removing stigmatizing questions and language is essential for physician wellbeing. #MedTwitter #MentalHealthMatters

The FTC's comment period for the proposed "Non-Compete Clause Rule" is an important opportunity to share concerns about its potential impact on patient safety and physician employment practices.
Please consider cosigning our letter to the FTC!

COMMENT NOW, or forever hold your peace: regulations.gov/commenton/FT…
The @ahahospitals is opposing removal of non-compete clauses “on behalf of 270,000 affiliated physicians.” Something tells me they didn’t ask for physician input on this. Feel free to let the AHA know your thoughts. @FTC
foley.com/en/insights/public… The DEA's new proposal for prescribing controlled substances after the PHE is over is deeply problematic for several reasons. My biggest concerns are 1) privacy, 2) Cost, 3) Administrative Burden #telemedicine #Psychiatry
Cost) Managing these additional requirements including documentation will require major overhauls to the EMRS and prescribing platforms being used, and the cost will be passed on to the prescribers
Privacy: Requiring the telemedicine prescriber to list their location at the time of the visit, puts their personal information and personal safety at risk if they are conducting telemedicine from a home office.
Previously, prescribers have been allowed to have an alternative address registered with the DEA so long as that address met DEA requirements, since for prescribing you only need to have one address listed per state.
Administrative Burden) keeping track of additional details for every encounter creates additional documentation burdens understanding what is and isn't allowed under this rule is so complicated many will choose not to do so. Patients will loose access to treatment.
Ownership matters. “unless your employees own meaningful equity in the company, their labor is given in exchange for a paycheck.” payscale.com/compensation-tr… too many physicians have lost their ownership stake in their work and data. Burnout follows. @HPECid @LeahHoustonMD
