New paper The BMJ w/ Ravi Gupta, Fein and Newhouse. We compared prior authorization rules across Medicare Advantage plans.

Part B services and drugs (especially) face lots of PA, with lots of variation across plans.

Great work by Vinayak Venkataraman, MD and Samyukta Mullangi on the importance of patient navigation and support as a critical element of comprehensive care in oncology

'You are not just a survivor, you have survived. This unmoors you.'

Such a beautiful essay on the passage of time after cancer treatment.

Happy to see this signed by President Biden:
'This legislation will enhance research on the late effects of childhood cancers, improve collaboration ... so doctors are better able to care for [survivors] as they age, & ... explore innovative models of care for childhood cancer survivors.'

Our health care system has made incredible advances in treating cancer, but the care model for cancer survivorship remains fragmented. I am honored to join Hil Moss and the team VivorCare to build a comprehensive care model for cancer survivorship

The Comprehensive Cancer #Survivorship Act was introduced today, and, of course, I'm psyched about the provisions in there.

Survivorship navigation, alt. payment models for survivorship care ...

These would be gamechangers.

Opinion: In the 1960s, the four years of medical education needed to earn an M.D. in the U.S. could be had for about $40,000 in today's dollars. The price is now $300,000. We need to find less costly ways to create new doctors. buff.ly/3jm7zPs

Incredible work by my colleague Sejal Tyle Hathi, MD, MBA with this great interview with Dr. Fauci.
