Let’s not do this again
AAP, joined by other leading medical groups, sent a letter today to @POTUS and @Secmayorkas raising concerns about the reinstatement of immigrant family detention. No amount of detention is safe for children. Read the letter: bit.ly/3ZRWDxL

A new working paper found that 25% of Medicaid claims have payment denied for at least one service upon the doctors' initial submission of a claim. Denials are far less frequent for Medicare (7.3%) and commercial insurers (4.8%).
