Prior Authorization for routine cataract surgery creates barriers for patients to get sight restoring surgery. #priorauthorization
Ophthalmologists don’t perform #cataract surgery for “financial gain” @AHIPCoverage We perform surgery to restore sight. As @RuthWilliamsMD1 explains, there is a role for #PriorAuthorization, but insurers are abusing it. #ophthalmology

How to give a great talk. This is an important article for physicians who give lectures and presentations at meetings. I’ve minimized the number of words on my PPT slides and increased the use of images. It’s a tough switch, but I promise it’s more effective.
