Nadine: I would argue, insurance doesn’t agree, that anyone with diabetes should be on a CGM at least initially for behavior modification. So say you have somebody new diagnosis, you’ve just put them on Metformin and something else, and you slap a CGM on them and they can see it.

But then once it was open, started seeing a lot of other populations: not just our own hospital population, but a lot more just community members calling with concerns about driving. Emmy: I would say one big thing, though, is I try to not just make any decision based on a diagnosis, perhaps obviously. “Do you guys do this?”

And you could say the same thing about insurance companies. Insurance companies will pay for a lot of drugs that have really not a whole lot of evidence at a lot of costs. But to this day, I haven’t heard of an insurance company that’s willing to cover cannabis. David 20:00 Yeah, I think so.

And then from that, through community activists, ACT UP, legislators who felt that there needed to be something done, doctors within CDCR who cared passionately about the HIV population and others, all came together and we were able to eventually get funding for this 17-bed inpatient hospice.

And then second, I was someone who was a Parrot Head for years and years and it was just amazing how the community came together. That was really the theme song of how the community came together.

My typical approach with somebody who’s in a methadone clinic, say, a recent cancer diagnosis, and they’re relatively healthy, they can still get to the methadone clinic, although they might not like it, is to.

Alex: We’ve got a lot to talk about…what states are doing and cities are doing to support older adults in the community. It was designed to really balance what Medicaid at the time was to provide nursing homes and Medicare is obviously health insurance. But, what you need is a community-based game there.

And the point of that is that so many people, in my experience, and I’m sure it’s the same initial diagnosis of cancer, that’s the last thing that I want to talk about. And I said, sure.

But what happened when we finally… When he did get the diagnosis, it all fell into place. You come over to the clinic, you go to the hospital, you provide service, and the insurance and you negotiate how much you’re going to get paid. That never happens in CMS and other health insurance.
