How come no other president did this?

Quite a few dedicated scientists have been focusing everything they’ve got on the development of a COVID vaccine! Moderna is already starting phase 2; thei...r phase 1 trial followed 45 patients who showed antibody response equivalent to recovered COVID patients. These patients will be followed for a year while a phase 2 study of 600 people is looking deeper into safety. Lots to be grateful for here!

Before the coronavirus outbreak, nearly 30 million Americans were uninsured and as many as 44 million were under-insured, paying for bare-bones plans with soari...ng deductibles and copays. Today, millions more Americans will begin losing their employer-based health insurance because they’ve lost their jobs during this pandemic. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is still actively trying to repeal the entirety of the Affordable Care Act in court, which would cause an additional 20 million people to lose insurance *in the middle of a pandemic*. And today, Trump refused to reopen ACA enrollment to those millions of uninsured Americans for a special enrollment window, leaving them without any affordable options to get covered. People are going to die because they can’t afford to seek treatment or end up saddled with thousands of dollars of medical debt if they do. Remember this the next time someone tries to tell you Medicare for All is too radical. What do you think?

2020 cpt updates Vessel assessment prior to creation of hemodialysis access In 2005, CMS created Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) code G0365, Vessel mapping of vessels for hemodialysis access (services for preoperative vessel mapping prior to creation of hemodialysis access using an autogenous hemodialysis conduit, including arterial inflow and venous outflow), to report venous mapping for hemodialysis access placement to allow tracking of venous mapping f...or quality improvement purposes and to analyze the relationship between venous mapping utilization and fistula formation. The AMA RUC identified code G0365 as potentially misvalued because it never was reviewed for physician work and had Medicare utilization greater than 30,000. The stakeholder specialties agreed to create CPT Category I codes to replace this HCPCS code. For CPT 2020, two new CPT Category I codes will be available to report a duplex scan of arterial inflow and venous outflow for preoperative vessel assessment prior to creation of hemodialysis access. Code 93985 describes a complete bilateral study and code 93986 describes a unilateral study. In addition to creating the two new codes, new subsection guidelines will be added to the codebook to instruct users when to report the new codes or other related codes depending on the type of vessel study performed. New parenthetical notes further instruct users on the restrictions of reporting related vessel study codes on the same extremity.
