| Kimberly Amelia @fireflyrn84 T1: Access to healthcare is a NECESSITY. Nobody should be denied access to healthcare. We are all equal at the end of the day. If everyone has access we can work on prevention instead of chasing out tails trying to manage diseases and ultimately save $$$ #patientchat |
| Your GPS Doc, LLC @yourgpsdoc T2: Healthcare coverage also protects from financial devastation. #patientchat https://t.co/52F3JRwJiU |
| Alan Brewington @abrewi3010 T1 falling in love is tough enough, having to do it around pill schedules, surgeries, doc visits is almost impossible #patientchat |

 | Melissa VanHouten @melissarvh A1 Must take care of most vulnerable; access to care = improved population health = beneficial to all in long-run #patientchat |

| Kimberly Amelia @fireflyrn84 RT @melissarvh: A1 Must take care of most vulnerable; access to care = improved population health = beneficial to all in long-run #patientchat |
| Patient Empowerment Network @power4patients RT @patientchat: T2: T2: During this period of Open Enrollment, what are some things that people shopping for coverage need to know? #patientchat |
| Enlightening Results 💡 @GraceCordovano T1: Important to note access alone is not enough. Must be reasonably affordable. If healthcare was affordable in the first place, we'd be having a different discussion. #patientchat https://t.co/TSJ1d55k1x |
 | Lisa Davis Budzinski @lisadbudzinski Hi everyone! Please excuse my tardiness 🙏🏼 #patientchat |
| Alan Brewington @abrewi3010 T1 if #healthcare was a universal right then maybe #Caregivers could relax more. #PatientChat |
| Your GPS Doc, LLC @yourgpsdoc T2: 1) 80% qualify for subsidies 2) Those with existing coverage need to browse 2018 plans, as coverage and prices have changed, 3) Open Enrollment ends 12/15/17 in most states (shortened this year). #patientchat https://t.co/DCX3vUHkMd |
| Enlightening Results 💡 @GraceCordovano @abrewi3010 Hey Alan! Great insights. #patientchat |
 | Annette McKinnon @anetto T1 Quality health care affects everyone in society. Preventive care very important. Deal with small problems when they're small #patientchat |
| Kimberly Amelia @fireflyrn84 T2: They need to compare plans side by side; gold with gold; bronze with bronze. That's the only way to get a true comparison of the plans. Make sure that the essentials are there and then figure out if it is something that you can afford #patientchat |
 | Heather 🇺🇸 @ZHeatherChamp A1: Because anyone's life can change in an instant: Brain Tumors and Rare Diseases come at you fast. You need to know you're not alone! #patientchat #btsm #pten |
| Enlightening Results 💡 @GraceCordovano @fireflyrn84 Amen. The golden rule of being a #carepartner. Self-care & kindness. #patientchat |
| Lisa Davis Budzinski @lisadbudzinski RT @yourgpsdoc: T2: T2: 1) 80% qualify for subsidies 2) Those with existing coverage need to browse 2018 plans, as coverage and prices have changed, 3) Open Enrollment ends 12/15/17 in most states (shortened this year). #patientchat https://t.co/DCX3vUHkMd |
| Alan Brewington @abrewi3010 @GraceCordovano Hello! Thank you 😊 #patientchat |
| ElizabethKelly, Ph.D @Elizabe85727641 T2 The vocabulary - deductibles- extent of coverage/pre-existing conditions, what diagnosis covered/excluded for how long and how much paid for, state insurance regulars, company profitability - for starters. #patientchat |
| Your GPS Doc, LLC @yourgpsdoc This is so true! #patientchat https://t.co/xilUQhtmVX |
| Enlightening Results 💡 @GraceCordovano @lisadbudzinski Hey Lisa!! Glad you are here. #patientchat |
| Kimberly Amelia @fireflyrn84 T2: We need to be getting the word out regarding #OpenEnrollment because there is minimal advertising this year as congress is trying to figure out a healthcare bill #patientchat |
| Katie @katie5280 @patientchat T2. The deadline, which is Dec. 15, but longer in CA & NY & what the penalty for not having it is. #patientchat |
| Lisa Davis Budzinski @lisadbudzinski @yourgpsdoc Definitely✨ Been there, done that. lost everything #PatientChat |
| Melissa VanHouten @melissarvh A2 Enrollment open til 12/15; variety of options 4 applying (online, phone, in-person); variety of coverage options/levels #patientchat |
| Alan Brewington @abrewi3010 T2 The math behind the plans deductable. Lists of in-network vs out of network docs. #patientchat |
| Your GPS Doc, LLC @yourgpsdoc Agree! I am speaking tomorrow at a church conference and have been posting regularly on social media. We must get the word out. #patientchat https://t.co/ETQUSqET4k |
| Lisa Davis Budzinski @lisadbudzinski RT @Elizabe85727641: T1 HC vital for public/community health, healthy workforce, clean environment, manage germ/corpus facts, successful learning. #patientchat |
| Lisa Davis Budzinski @lisadbudzinski RT @LucyAlexandria: |
| Patient Chat @patientchat Topic 3 (T3:) coming up... https://t.co/KbQGqtv5D1 #patientchat |
| Enlightening Results 💡 @GraceCordovano @Elizabe85727641 T2: The vocabulary can be overwhelming, especially in context of language and health literacy barriers. Individuals must ask for help. #patientchat |
| Alan Brewington @abrewi3010 T2 the difference between an EOB (explanation of benefits) and a bill. #patientchat |
| Lisa Davis Budzinski @lisadbudzinski RT @patientchat: Today's #patientchat topic is What Empowered Patients Need To Know About Healthcare Access #OpenEnrollment |
| Your GPS Doc, LLC @yourgpsdoc @lisadbudzinski So sorry! #patientchat |
| Your GPS Doc, LLC @yourgpsdoc RT @abrewi3010: T2 the difference between an EOB (explanation of benefits) and a bill. #patientchat |
| Kimberly Amelia @fireflyrn84 @yourgpsdoc If we don't do it, then we are being negligent as #patientleaders and #advocates. We're trying to have the greatest good for the greatest numbers. It's essential! #patientchat |
| Patient Chat @patientchat T3: As part of a “basic” health care plan that can be obtained through the Marketplace, what is covered? #patientchat |
| International Pain Foundation® @iPainOfficial T2. The dedictable, total yearly out of pocket, if the treatments they seek are covered by the plan, if their meds are in the policy formulary, if their providers are in network w the plan #patientchat https://t.co/T8vMmeoWXy |
| Lisa Davis Budzinski @lisadbudzinski @yourgpsdoc It’s a tough road to plod through when you’re hit with a stroke & cancer & having to figure out a way to survive when feeling your worst. #PatientChat |
| Your GPS Doc, LLC @yourgpsdoc I'm a doc and it confuses me! #patientchat https://t.co/W7jPB7SKOK |
| Alan Brewington @abrewi3010 T2 be careful of health savings accounts. They are not a great financial tool for many. #patientchat |
| Kimberly Amelia @fireflyrn84 The language is extremely confusing if you aren't familiar with it. That's a major issue with access to care also. #patientchat https://t.co/y5l4YiiBYD |
| Alan Brewington @abrewi3010 RT @patientchat: T3: T3: As part of a “basic” health care plan that can be obtained through the Marketplace, what is covered? #patientchat |
| Patient Empowerment Network @power4patients @abrewi3010 In a recent blog, @MightyCasey gives a good explanation of the two https://t.co/TG92bGizrf #patientchat |
| Enlightening Results 💡 @GraceCordovano @HealthcareRC Does anyone have any great resources for assistance in navigating basics in obtaining coverage? #patientchat |
| ElizabethKelly, Ph.D @Elizabe85727641 T3 Not sure how to answer, can vary by state, policy purchase level availability by income, citizenship, wit/without children, & age. #patientchat |
| Your GPS Doc, LLC @yourgpsdoc @lisadbudzinski ❤️❤️❤️❤️#patientchat |
| Melissa VanHouten @melissarvh A2 You may qualify for tax credits which can essentially lower your premiums. Can determine this & get more info at https://t.co/D0PupS8YdB #patientchat |
| Alan Brewington @abrewi3010 RT @power4patients: @abrewi3010 In a recent blog, @MightyCasey gives a good explanation of the two https://t.co/TG92bGizrf #patientchat |
| Alan Brewington @abrewi3010 @power4patients @MightyCasey Casey is the leading expert on most things in #healthcare! #patientchat |
| International Pain Foundation® @iPainOfficial T3. It's different w each plan, generally yearly general physical check ups, cbc blood testing, general practitioner visits, #patientchat https://t.co/1QWN7JL8ok |
| Enlightening Results 💡 @GraceCordovano @fireflyrn84 Navigating the phone directories and menus when one calls in can be very frustrating. Many patients don't know what option to select to get help. Get the run around and have to start over, may give up. #patientchat |
| Kimberly Amelia @fireflyrn84 T3: Annual physical exams, preventative care, vaccinations, mammograms, well child care...the bare bones minimum to get by to meet requirements for #ACA, it also cannot penalize for pre-existing conditions, have annual or lifetime maximums #patientchat |
| Lisa Davis Budzinski @lisadbudzinski @bbhomebody @yourgpsdoc This is a major break in the healthcare system & a very important reason for health coverage for everyone. For 1 day, everyone eventually becomes a patient #PatientChat |
| Patient Empowerment Network @power4patients @abrewi3010 @MightyCasey Couldn’t agree more! #patientchat |
| Alan Brewington @abrewi3010 T3 Ask your state department of insurance. Ask the insurance company. There are many preventive & standardized care options that get lost in the #Trumpcare political nonsense. #PatientChat |
| Kimberly Amelia @fireflyrn84 Here is a simple one https://t.co/q97fFTUjkT #patientchat https://t.co/XNvgONoY6g |
| Lisa Davis Budzinski @lisadbudzinski RT @melissarvh: A2 You may qualify for tax credits which can essentially lower your premiums. Can determine this & get more info at https://t.co/D0PupS8YdB #patientchat |
| Lisa Davis Budzinski @lisadbudzinski RT @GraceCordovano: @HealthcareRC Does anyone have any great resources for assistance in navigating basics in obtaining coverage? #patientchat |
| Enlightening Results 💡 @GraceCordovano @patientchat T3: Important to note what basics are NOT included: dental, vision, hearing. #patientchat |
| Melissa VanHouten @melissarvh A3 Outpatient & ER care; prescription drugs; lab services; preventative care; some mental health & rehab services #patientchat |
| Patient Chat @patientchat Topic 4 (T4:) coming up... https://t.co/KbQGqtv5D1 #patientchat |
 | Ross @Rossco006 Sorry to show up late everyone but it isn’t easy hitting these chats in the middle of the day! #patientchat |
| Your GPS Doc, LLC @yourgpsdoc 10 essential benefits: Preventive care, Pediatric, Maternity, Mental Health/Substance abuse, Ambulatory services, Labs, Hospitalization, ER, Prescription drugs, Rehab services https://t.co/UEoNhwiv4r |
| Patient Chat @patientchat T4: How can more people and organizations encourage uninsured people to ultimately get the coverage they need? #patientchat |
| Your GPS Doc, LLC @yourgpsdoc T3: 10 essential benefits: Preventive care, Pediatric, Maternity, Mental Health/Substance abuse, Ambulatory services, Labs, Hospitalization, ER, Prescription drugs, Rehab services #patientchat |
| Patient Empowerment Network @power4patients RT @patientchat: T4: T4: How can more people and organizations encourage uninsured people to ultimately get the coverage they need? #patientchat |
| Alan Brewington @abrewi3010 T3 the biggest thing to remember right now is you are covered regardless of health. #preexistingconditions can't be held against you. #patientchat |
| Kimberly Amelia @fireflyrn84 Absolutely!!! #patientchat https://t.co/JdIwrVRXmx |
| Katie @katie5280 @patientchat T4: That’s hard if you are unemployed and don’t meet criteria for assistance. #patientchat |
| Your GPS Doc, LLC @yourgpsdoc T3: Dental is covered for kids, but adults must purchase a separate plan. #patientchat https://t.co/Okj6YBSsUX |
| Melissa VanHouten @melissarvh A4 Provide info regarding their options 4 coverage & where/how to apply; review plans w/ them & discuss basic needs/differences #patientchat |
| Your GPS Doc, LLC @yourgpsdoc T4: Inform, inform, inform! Get the word out, share resources. Dispel myths. #patientchat https://t.co/TzYSGxngBp |
| Lisa Davis Budzinski @lisadbudzinski @GraceCordovano @patientchat This has always bothered me. Those are 3 import areas of health & QOL. Since those areas aren’t capped on pricing; most can’t even afford them #PatientChat |
| Kimberly Amelia @fireflyrn84 T4: Spread the word, get out in communities. Utilize our networks and fight for healthcare for everyone. It's a tough job, but we have to help. Also education is key for many who don't understand the importance of insurance #patientchat |
| Alan Brewington @abrewi3010 T4 Offer to help with budgeting or find tools for uninsured. Walk them through taxes. Remind them life changes in a second. #patientchat |
| Lisa Davis Budzinski @lisadbudzinski @GraceCordovano @HealthcareRC Maybe this: https://t.co/cKUgItV5rQ #PatientChat |
| Ross @Rossco006 @patientchat I’ll be in and out of the chat as I’m at a hospital appointment. #patientchat |
| ElizabethKelly, Ph.D @Elizabe85727641 T4 Get to know people in their community, listen to their health goals/past HC experiences, then have frequent meetings to explain process, use teach-back, role playing to increase knowledge & lower concerns, have on-going resources/follow-up #patientchat |
| Your GPS Doc, LLC @yourgpsdoc RT @fireflyrn84: T4: T4: Spread the word, get out in communities. Utilize our networks and fight for healthcare for everyone. It's a tough job, but we have to help. Also education is key for many who don't understand the importance of insurance #patientchat |
| Alan Brewington @abrewi3010 T4 ask uninsured to define their current quality of life (QOL). Compare than to a #HealthInsurance plan. #patientchat |
| Enlightening Results 💡 @GraceCordovano @bbhomebody @patientchat Mind-blowing. Like vision, dental, and hearing are the nice-to-haves as opposed to major functionalites of the human body.#patientchat |
| Patient Chat @patientchat Topic 5 (T5:) coming up... https://t.co/KbQGqtv5D1 #patientchat |
| International Pain Foundation® @iPainOfficial T4. By educating the patients about their disease, treatment options, and how to find insurance plans that cover their potential needs #patientchat https://t.co/SevHu019qe |
| Your GPS Doc, LLC @yourgpsdoc T4: @GetUSCovered has information regarding street teams and how we can spread the word in our communities. #patientchat https://t.co/B0nzTV8bNI https://t.co/TzYSGxngBp |
| Patient Empowerment Network @power4patients @melissarvh Agreed. There's a lot of confusion & misinformation out there. People need to know that there are resources & actual people available for reliable and helpful info #patientchat |
| Patient Chat @patientchat T5: Now let’s talk resources. What's out there that everyone can use to help get coverage during Open Enrollment? #patientchat |
| Your GPS Doc, LLC @yourgpsdoc @GraceCordovano @bbhomebody @patientchat So true! #patientchat |
| Ross @Rossco006 @patientchat It’s hard for me to add my opinion to this conversation because I’m in Canada and our system differs! #patientchat |

| Lisa Davis Budzinski @lisadbudzinski T4 We need to show the younger generation that a health situation can happen out of no where to the ones who feel invincible & healthy. Best is to maintain checkups & could possibly catch illness early on #PatientChat https://t.co/VLYUObeUig |

| Lisa Davis Budzinski @lisadbudzinski T5 https://t.co/txW6wQIMDj #patientchat |
| Kimberly Amelia @fireflyrn84 We need to get to a point that congress lets healthcare providers, patients, and insurance companies have the majority of input regarding the actual "meat" of a piece of legislation. Our input will make a difference...if we can get to that point #patientchat https://t.co/LEoX8Xpdh9 |

 | Liz Kennerley (she/her) #COVIDIsntOver #PBMTReform @LifeAccrdingLiz T1: Access to quality health coverage is important because we all get sick at some point in our lives. We should all have the ability to see a doctor regularly and when needed so issues can be addressed before getting out of hand and cost more #patientchat |
| International Pain Foundation® @iPainOfficial T5: People can talk w the benefits manager through employers, medicare, medicaid, and insurance companies websites, Many allow you to do online comparisons like this: https://t.co/fNLLflBqQV #PatientChat https://t.co/zgLX7aQ5Xj |
| Alan Brewington @abrewi3010 T5 This is HUGELY important. Health insurance has been regulated on the state level for over 100 years. Lots of chance for change. #patientchat https://t.co/xqiKGp3uzy |

| Ross @Rossco006 @fireflyrn84 I think you hit it on the nose. Sometimes I think we spend so much time fighting the “system” so to speak and not enough time fighting for the cause as a whole. #patientchat |

| Liz Kennerley (she/her) #COVIDIsntOver #PBMTReform @LifeAccrdingLiz Thank goodness for this. Came close to losing this essential component to ACA not once, but TWICE. Crucial for patients with everything from acid reflux to #RareDisease. (There are over 7,000 conditions affecting more than 1 in 10 Americans.) #patientchat https://t.co/c9K4xLcmJw |

| Kimberly Amelia @fireflyrn84 CT: So glad to have something feel normal after the week I've had. Thank you to everyone today. Familiar friends are so nice today :) Great chat and many things to implement. Mainly we need to get people to sign up for coverage quickly. #patientchat |
| Your GPS Doc, LLC @yourgpsdoc CT: Health insurance is a right. We must get the word out about ACA open enrollment, which ends 12/15/17. Most qualify for subsidies. Cost will rise pretty dramatically for those who don't qualify for subsidies. #patientchat https://t.co/suA3DxV1WQ |

| Ross @Rossco006 @bbhomebody I’m lucky here in the province of Saskatchewan that my health coverage is free. Some provinces have a premium that you have to pay but they still cover some of the basics. At least they try to make it affordable for everyone. #patientchat |
| Alan Brewington @abrewi3010 CT I've been hurting bad and stressed all week. Here are some photographs of mine to help with self care. #patientchat https://t.co/8dFcfDscC9 |

| Kimberly Amelia @fireflyrn84 @bbhomebody It’s going to be a while. Had to get sick on top of everything else. Now it’s timeout for me. I’m tapping out. I have been so disappointed in many things this week. It will get better with time. #patientchat |
| Kimberly Amelia @fireflyrn84 @brkthrough_crew @lisadbudzinski Thank you! Appreciated beyond what words can even begin to express. #patientchat |
| Ross @Rossco006 @bbhomebody What I am finding however is that they’re finding more and more reasons not to cover certain things. #patientchat |
