I nerded out and looked at the Medicaid data files from a GI perspective.
And the findings are wild.
Of the 4.1 million colonoscopy claims from 2018-2024
Only 23% were billed as purely diagnostic (45378)
What was even weirder was among high volume proceduralists (>1000 cases)

When adjusting for provider location, it was overwhelmingly individual providers rather than ASCs or Hospitals that preferentially billed lower diagnostic codes. With some specific States more prone that others.

If truly aberrant, that’s potentially over 17 million in overcharges to Medicaid in a 7 year period on colonoscopy claims alone.
More smoke than fire, but interesting nonetheless

The em dash scourge in medical research has reached pandemic levels.
“No one” is using chat gpt but every review now has em dashes every where

Congratulations to all those that matched! GI remains a ridiculously competitive match with only 6 out of 10 applicants matching into a position

Always amazed at how serpiginous the periduodenal portion of the bile duct can be. Here’s a “S” on cholangiogram as you can see the contrast course back on itself.

🚨Hot off the press @ACGCRJ🚨
Can ESG improve eligibility for lung transplant?
We report the first case where ESG reversed transplant ineligibility; and improved lung function enough to delay the need altogether.

For those that perform GPOEM,
Here’s a great review article I was lucky to contribute to, highlighting the pathophysiologic principles behind pylorospasm and the current literature on efficacy (and issues!).
Amazing work from Dr Na and @joohahwang

Has anyone had this happen to them recently? Gore Viabil whips like a caterpillar without deploying.
Happened with three Viabils in a week.
