In a 2 month, hours-on-the-phone long doom loop with @AmericanExpress trying to get an #AmexGold SUB, as AmEx records erroneously link my account with another Steve(n) Lee who has an active + legitimate Gold card. Only solution is to screw that guy and cancel his card?😢.

It'd be an amazing improvement if @AmerMedicalAssn actualizes new policy that #MedicareAdvantage plan star ratings depend on physician satisfaction. #amamtg #ascoadvocacy

Angry @PresAmerMed Bruce Scott addresses a broken health care system with interfering #priorauth, inadequate #medicare and underfunded #medicaid - a system that is eroding patients' trust and forcing physicians to close practices. #amamtg

Science matters; Translation; Impact. As the government steps back in global care, @ASCO must step up to fill the void. @UCSFCancer GU oncologist and @ANCO_News member Eric Small inaugurated as ASCO president. #ASCO25

"Sometimes it's hard for doctors to pay doctors" - but it's increasingly important for physician groups to give credit for external advocacy as they might for giving Grand Rounds, teaching housestaff. Wonder if anyone here knows what our @ASCO #RUC advisor does for them? #ASCO25.

Very timely Health Policy Communities of Practice meeting driven by @JasmineKambojMD - covered oncology issues such as practice impacts of the IRA and broader health delivery issues such as cuts to J1 visas and to research funding. Oncologists must engage beyond @ASCO #ASCO25.

Glad to hear @ASCOPres plug for #ASCOCertified patient-centered/oncology medical home program, which maximizes practice quality of care. Next step for @ASCO is to convince payers and regulators that certification is worth boosted reimbursement. #ASCO25.
