Ahhhh those “new plan year” surprises. I was supposed to get my infusion - the one that keeps my body from eating itself - tomorrow. Last Thursday I found out the infusion center I’ve been going to for 3 years is now “out of network”. Thanks for the notice @UHC
A quick reminder that UnitedHealth Group:
- Ranks 3rd on the Fortune 500, having generated > $400B in revenue in 2024.
- Is the nation's largest health insurer, physician employer, and claims processor; 2nd-largest HSA provider; 3rd-largest PBM; and 4th-largest pharmacy operator.
Excited to launch our newest #ChronicDisease and #RareDisease awareness campaign! We are bringing the fuse 3 cards to @ChronicCareCO Lobby Day. They’ve got a QR code that goes to a reputable site for more info! Come learn about the #RDAC and more!
Grateful to @DrDiGiorgio for lending his expertise to @PatientsRising 's Issue in 5 series 🙏
Dr. DiGiorgio helped break down the 340B Prescription Drug Pricing Program and why, too often, patients aren’t seeing the savings they’re promised. Clear, thoughtful, and patient-focused — exactly the kind of leadership this conversation needs.
Thank you for standing with patients and helping make complex policy understandable.

Thank you to @RepHarshbarger & @SenMikeLee for re-introducing your bill to remove the waiting period for terminally ill patients’ access to Social Security program benefits.
This bill empowers patients with the choice to access their earned benefits immediately, providing essential financial dignity and relief from the costs of end-of-life care when families need it most.
We are grateful to Congresswoman Diana Harshbarger and Senator Mike Lee for their unwavering commitment to put patients first

Crazy front blew through! That means the #ChronicallyIll and folks with #RareDisease are struggling today! Here are some of the symptoms I collected. #Maladiemon
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, or #ALS, is a progressive, rare disease that attacks nerve cells in the brain and spine. It causes #paralysis, #weakness, and interferes in everything from walking to breathing. There is no cure. #Maladiemon#MonsterMonday@alsassociation
The PDAB is just bad news. This policy was sold to Colorado by billionaires as “saving Coloradans money on prescriptions”. The UPL doesn’t cap out of pocket costs - the “upper payment limit” is a cap on what your insurance can reimburse your pharmacy or infusion center.
The 340B program now sits at the center of the hospital marketplace, influencing pricing and care far beyond the safety-net institutions it was meant to support. As its footprint has grown, questions about accountability and patient benefit have become harder to ignore, particularly when the program reaches so deeply into everyday hospital operations.
Charity care is often cited as the justification for broad hospital participation in 340B, but the math suggests that justification deserves closer scrutiny.
