Great day on the Hill w/ @AmerGastroAssn advocates - our largest group to date! We want action on #priorauth, #steptherapy, & stable GI research 🔬 funding. Congress also must stop the Medicare fee cuts. Thanks to our amazing #FORWARD program members for their advocacy!
successful day on The Hill speaking to congress about ⬇️ #priorauth burdens, #steptherapy reform, ⬆️ #research funding. Go #Ohio team @Jarshah4 @MichelleKimMD & Dr. Sheryl Pfeil. Special shoutout to Washington’s @IssakaMD & Pres @ibddocmaria #AGAAdvocacy Day @AmerGastroAssn

Tone deaf insurance co’s denying different mode of delivery for stable meds (IV to subq) because other meds were not tried & failed. Never-mind the med in question is #FDA approved 1st line. Appeal step therapy. Congress must pass #SafeStepAct #advocate

Nutrition formula (medical food) is not covered by health plans for people w GI diseases. A bill in CA will expand access but we need @GavinNewsom’s support. If you would like to help advocate for this, DM me! @CrohnsColitisFn #nutritionequity
