Dr Williams was a friend to all 💔 We have lost an inspiring leader and mentor, a compassionate doctor, a talented educator, a fierce advocate for patients and physicians. He was someone who spoke up and made a difference. It is up to us to carry on his work. RIP @dr_g_williams
It is with great sadness that the Texas Society of Anesthesiologists reports the passing of ASA Director and TSA Past President, George W. Williams, MD. Dr. Williams served as the TSA President in 2022-2023 and was an active and energetic leader for our society. Dr. Williams

#biginsurance gouging American patients, providers and healthcare systems
Absolutely disgraceful. The American Health Insurance Industry is stealing the American patient/provider blind. The rest of the world’s private companies are not this immoral. When will DC fight back and stop taking their support?!

Today’s assault on physician practices comes from Cigna Cigna will now be able to reduce your E/M code down one level when you code Level 4 or Level 5 new and follow up patient appointments. If they find that you aren’t coding correctly, they reserve the right to kick you out

Infuriating to find insurance companies in NC like @Aetna are again cutting reimbursement to Docs by having a cubicle cruncher downcode E&M codes without reason just to increase profits. This nonsense has to stop. Immediately.
