patient almost one and a half years ago, patient 0 was without any excitement, so we just did what any doctor would have done. so the patient got a little bit oxygen a little bit in relation, not even a real infusion. so at this moment, we just use supportive care and the best sense, but did not treat this patient is pacific way. actually the disease wind off by itself after a couple of weeks and looking at how you treat patients today with covered 19 infections. how is that changed? i think we have made some progress based on the tries. we also participated. so the one thing is in the early phase of the code 19 disease. you can indirect by using direct f like run year. but we also have the neutralizing anti bodies, so spike directed antibodies like the famous rank of, to dawn from got it and in the later phase of the disease or 2nd week and so further on the principle is to suppress the inflammation. so that's the reason that's actually the, the prime time was due, right? the prime time for 6 anti bodies took a little more, for example, and there are new developments like gmc s f and

not the queue for every patient at this point. now on that the antibody treatment a company in japan has applied for regulatory approval for an anti body treatment. for cove in 1900 is this approach the most promising one i think. and then make times you have to react in a very timely and quick manner. so i think the approach that has been used in germany, but also in the u. s. a. was more efficient. so we have except to be sent the bodies without an official labor because this will take months and sometimes a year. so you, but you don't have time to wait. so we're just using the down the bodies and without the label, we tell patients about this. but we have some data from tried that they can even reduce mortality, so that that's reason enough for us to apply these new drugs now called the patients have been treated with drugs for other viral diseases. what can we draw from that? actually we also just this in the 1st week, so typically of the drugs cetera. i mean that's a tried arrow in the 1st days of this been demick time. but a

not the queue for every patient at this point. now on that the antibody treatment a company in japan says and applied for regulatory approval for an anti body treatment for covered 1900. is this approach the most promising one i think. and then make times you have to react in a very timely and quick manner. so i think the approach that has been used in germany, but also in the u. s. was more efficient. so we have excess to be 70 bodies without an official labor. because this will take month and sometimes also a year. so you, but you don't have time to wait. so we're just using the down the bodies and without labor, we tell patients about this. but we have some data from tried that they can even reduce mortality. so that, that's reason enough for us to apply these new drugs now called the patients have been treated with drugs for other viral diseases. what can we draw from that? actually we also did this in the 1st week, so typically the drugs cetera. i mean, that's the tried arrow in the 1st days of this and then make time. but ac

>> essentially that's what that is even the most patients were. they were charged, they were being built like other providers were. >> donna in somerville, massachusetts. >> hello. i used to be a former federal employee and i worked for the department of the interior and day have blue cross blue shield standard option and medicare and i would like to know what that federal employee who crossed blue shield standard option cost incr massachusetts for covid-19 hospitalization. i just went for a test and i was tested negative and to covet tests, one in april 20. 22nd of last year. one july 31, 2020 they both came out negative so i didn't need any hospitalization. >> so what is your question? >> i would like to know how much it cost for federal employees. if i ever need to go to the hospital's for covert treatment. >> i think you got to send that directly to your insurance company. >> i agree. so many insurers in different policies, it is hard for me to comment about a specific policy. >> linda in pennsylvania. >> go ahead with your question or comment

we have 2 patients to postpone surgery, etc. so still a lot of things to be done in the clinics, and let's hope that the delta wave were not present of many young patients that we have to treat in the clinic in the i. c, u was claim as if we had one wish that would improve the treatment of cove it patients. what would that wish be? which will be that there is the metric pill. so an agent that can be used by the infected people before the disease really starts to, to make complications. so that the pill, the anti covet pills that can be taken at home. this will be my wish for, for the future. infected patients with comic 20. let's see how long it takes until we have that pill clemons in my head of the swab, in clinic in munich. thank you for your time. while research for a drug to help cove with 900 patients continuous, several vaccines have already been developed to prevent people from catching the current of ours. despite high effectiveness, people still have questions about the jap. like the following one for science correspon

patient almost one and a half years ago, patient 0 was without any excitement, so we just did what any doctor would have done. so the patient got a little bit oxygen, a little bit inhalation. not even a real infusion. so at this moment, we just use supportive care and the best sense, but did not treat this patient is pacific way. actually the disease wind off by itself after a couple of weeks and looking at how you treat patients today with covered 19 infections. how is the change? i think we have made some progress based on the tries. we also participated. so the one thing is in the early phase of the code 19 disease. you can indirect by using direct f like run year. but we also have the neutralizing anti bodies, so spike directed antibodies like the famous rank of, to dawn from got it and in the later phase of the disease or 2nd week. and so further on the principle is to suppress the inflammation. so that's the reason that's actually the, the prime time for steroids. the prime time for i, 6 antibodies took the little not for example. and there are new developments like james is f, a

and online with patient values. it means there's a continuing accountable care relationships from a community primary care practice to an apo or direct contracting entity, federally qualified health center or medicare advantage plan and let me add that i'm heartened by the renewed interest in advanced primary care and doubling down on the role primary care can play in a high-performing health system so we want to make sure all parts of the health system are driving towards the same goal . >> just going into detail and what you said in those few paragraphs will take us through the hour so i'm going to get startedro. every meeting i met went to when cmi was created used this metaphor. they said were going to throw a bunch of stuff at the wall and we will see what sticks and it does seem an outsider, that's what happened. there have many manydifferent demonstrations . in your view, what has really stuck and what is clearly on the floor? i'm sure there's a lot in the middle we don't know what do you see as the guide sta

, and patients' values. and there is an accountable relationship from a community contact, aco federally acquired , health center or a medicare advantage plan. i am heartened by the renewed interest in primary care and doubling down on the role that primary care can play in a primary health system. we want to make sure all parts of the health system are driving toward the same goal, where people are the system. alan: just going into detail and what you said in those paragraphs could probably take us through the hour, so i am going to get started. let's do a moment of looking backward before we look forward. every meeting i went to when see, mine was created -- when cmmi was created they would say , we will throw everything at the wall and see what sticks, and to outsiders it seems that's what's happened. there have been many demonstrations. in your view, what has really stuck, and what is clearly on the floor? i'm sure there's a lot in the middle where we don't know, but what do you see as the guiding star o

we've had another patient before, but it's all pretty new to us. the high security at the laboratory is purely a precautionary measure, because the side effects of the pages are not yet known. the doctors determined the dose individually for each patient so somehow, lena has tolerated the pages well. he's supposed to inhale the viruses one last time in the clinic.

. -- patients. we have a health care system climbing up towards 20% of gdp, and there's a lot of parties that benefit when health-care costs go up and spending goes up. and not a lot who benefit when it goes down. i think that's what we are trying to change as we think about valley, which is improving -- value, which is improving quality and lowering cost and improving population health. we want to move in this direction so the system benefits patients and takes some of the friction out and makes it easier. i've learned something in every role i've had. each experience has been valuable, but what struck me is just how many interests there are in the system and that keep it from moving away from the status quo, which is what i think we need to do. alan: that's a very insightful answer, and you will certainly feel that in your new role. i've gotten so many questions, i'm clearly not going to get through them, but i want to bring up a few themes that has been brought up. you mentioned direct contractin

but it's not just only those patients we have young, otherwise active and healthy patients who are presenting with long coded symptoms. and so it's pretty broad spread. but they do see, it does seem to be that very severe patients seem to have more of a pulmonary and cardiac symptoms that persists. whereas we're very surprised to see a lot of patients who are never admitted to hospital and who were never in an intensive care unit or on a breathing machine who are presenting now with long coded. so they had a relatively mild initial course, but are still presenting with the fatigue and some of the mental clouding. and that is very interesting and kind of concerning because we don't necessarily have a handle to say, oh, you are definitely going to be free of this because it happens to everyone is the fact that we've just quote, unquote just been one and a half years into this pandemic, this fact make it so difficult to do. proper research on long calls it well, the, the research, there's some things that are progressing rapidly and because so many individuals have had long. this is a disease an

you also mentioned accountability focused around the patient.ne of the things -w questions came in about this -- early on, you said there are so many different demonstrations out there, and maybe it's time to focus in. it does seem like there is a whole portfolio around primary care that tends toward expansion coordination. a lot of the specialty-focused demonstrations have been very siloed. they are about a very particular set of procedures. and if you are trying to harmonize, the question is, how do you bring in what again, in , my estimation has been specialty-focused demonstrations with a more harmonized approach? how do we start thinking of that as one thing instead of two initiatives? elizabeth: i think they can be coordinated, and if you think about the specialty models, these primary care providers need strategies and approaches and models for helping manage episodes of care and specialty care. and hopefully some of these , models will provide a pathway for that. these equity models aren't going anywhere. i think they are very important

you mentioned accountability focused around patients. thing came in, earlier he said there's so many different demonstrations out there and maybe it's time to focus and. it seems like there is a portfolio toward expansion coordination. a lot of the specialties focus, demonstrations have been silent, particular procedures and if you're trying to harmonize, the question is how do you bring in, in my estimation historically someone highly demonstrations with a more holistic center approach, how do we start thinking one thing instead of two different initiatives? >> i think that they can be in -- [inaudible] primary care providers in these models helping manage episodes of care and hopefully some of these models will provide a pathway for the and these models aren't going anywhere. they are still very important and need to engage across the medical spectrum i guess i woulf say if you're going to invest in episodes of care, focus on the high cost, maybe lower volume areas where primary care would have a harder time managing. instead of buildi

treat the i see patients. i read the mail to margaret home care. i guess it's so good to happy because you all have by virtue of being in india, you have point line experience. as the 2nd wave of covert, i knew if we were looking for the current headline, one headline i would you tell our audience is important to pay attention to what's going on now. i think the big story was, i think the last time when i was on your show, it was about oxygen and the lack of oxygen logistically, the government has figure that out. but right now it really is this vaccine crisis because in does vaccine crisis is a global vaccine crisis. the w 2 s t scientists has just said that there are 91 countries in africa waiting for maxine because india had committed to supply those acts in for the w h. all so indian put on getting the vaccines here, but the what the world is not getting, it's like seeing the, the, i think this is the big, big area. thank you for sharing that with us. so if you suddenly looking at the numbers for the numbe

so not only patients come on the heels of the water over. ah, it's something we feel over and over again. no one he'll expected the damage to come back with such force. not even know how much i mean a code generation under the vehicle. i knew daddy's largest burial ground already covered the car and i just started a car door. the job you can give it gives you all can i know what about another dolly and they can make it a job on i'm, i will be doing reasonable a deep and articles. good to go. would anybody go out with my level via gun lamps? most of it probably wound in malays holding the gradually, the overcame they feel now every morning starts with a familiarity to as body started arriving at the i it's a little and other than i did mention the labels of why does not as many oh no, i don't know that it will going to go live on a lot and i look, i really got it didn't get me out a little older than that. i was told i was, i don't either. yes, i'm the vellum linear and i could be familiar with other men. i had put the limits in any they to u

[indiscernible] host: do you recommend if patients -- what do you recommend if patients received bills when they were not supposed to? guest: [indiscernible] we are seeing in the hospital. they can cover certain costs in which the doctor or hospital admitted -- if patients do wind up getting a bill, they can foot that to make sure it was not an error. host: you are referring to these numbers from your study that prior, 71% were billed for hospitalization related service and for medicare advantage insurers, 49% billed for hospitalization services. that bill that -- that average was $277. guest: the charge for -- host: we will go to donna in somerville, massachusetts. caller: i used to be a former federal employee. i have several blue cross blue steel standard options. i would like to know -- the blue cross standard option 104 -- i just went in for a test, i was tested negative. i had to covid-19 tests in april of last year. july 31 july the 31st, 2020. i didn't need any hospitalization. host: what is your question?

- at clearchoice, we take a patient-centered approach because every patient is unique, they all haveque goals. it starts out with having the entire team together in one location. you have the prosthodontist, you have the oral surgeon, you have all of the dental staff, and the medical equipment, and the laboratory, all in one location to help these patients achieve their goals. and it all starts with a consultation. we wanna hear about the vision that these people have for their smile. what do they want this to actually look like? we talk about what their objectives and what their goals of the treatment are. we call that the smile healthy approach, because every patient then walks out with a customized plan. - yeah, and it's just so remarkable that a dental issue can affect your entire life. - at clearchoice, we have locations all across the country and we hear these emotional stories all the time, patients who suffer emotionally and physically, they're masters of being able to hide their smile, patients who are unable to sit down and enjoy a meal because of the pain going on in their

it was really dreaded and this patient got on the table. and he decided quite rationally, i think that he was not going to go through with it. so he jumps off the table and he runs to the back of the room and he locks himself in a closet. and listen all six two of him charges after this poor guy and he rips the door off the closet and he drags him back to the table and he removes the bladder stone. so that is dedication to your patient. he survives he does survive. he's able to remove the stone in about a minute and a half which is pretty impressive again when we consider what poor stephen pollard went through with the over an hour operations. so certainly you wanted to go to a surgeon who was fast at this time another one of my favorite stories about liston is he was he was so fast when he was changing instruments, he would put them in his mouth. so yeah, that was that happened not very hygienic at all and again illustrates. certainly how far we've come he was he was moving so fast, and he accidentally took off his assistance finger in the

so not only patients, their mother he like ok of the water equal with me. it's something we feel over and over again. no one he'll expected the damage to come back with such force. not even know how much i mean, a code generation under they go, i knew daddy's largest burial ground for me was already covered. they got to know, why did they started a car or the job you can take if a leakage walker knows what about the value they can believe me job on i'm i will be doing reasonable. i will get you over to them all up with 100. so my name was down lamp was almost all of it. probably room in the gradually the overcame that feel now every morning starts with the familiarity to as body started arriving at the i ah, it's a little on the light bill, but it is in the, in the late why doesn't not is ivory. oh no, i don't know that it was going to live on a lot and i look, i really got it and it will give me just not a lot going on is older than that. i was told i was it was you the yes i'm not going be familiar with other men i had to do the limit is in any they feel

as the sun rises, the count begins filling the patients desperate fox engine. jenny was going to give me a lawyer, falls in love with the phone number, little people you know it almost even with the city. gasping for breath. hospitals under immense special health care workers can only try to see to be under their care. for donnie. things have gotten tougher on the home front to her worst feel have become reality. couple is also sick. i'd love to think faith hospitals are going to go is what is a talk? music went out traditionally. was it for 70 assisting me to get by the way they can get good vision. good condition is critical with their hospital overflowing with patients got to have to travel 300 kilometers a week to another state to seek treatment. if a builder bought the company because nothing is out there made it was time for me he let me say good to me. dolly says it's especially tough because the couple caught their lives were slowly improving. cookies which brought come to got very february, man who not only patient their mother of the water equal with

we made sure every patient, which was 750-plus covid patients who were sitting in the hospital, had allhe advanced medicines, all the advanced treatment. if you needed one-on-one nursing because you were so sick, you got it. we paid for nurses to stay extra nights, extra shifts. we brought people in. so we made the decision to invest the money the federal government gave us to take care of our patients. soledad: what is lost when you lose a rural hospital? i know you guys delivered something like just under 1000 babies last year. you are the only icu. >> forty-five to sixty miles in every direction that we're the only icu. and with the babies we are the , level 2 neo natal unit. they're dependent on us being here. we're critical to the economy. even though we're 750 employees, we're over 1000 jobs in this community that would be lost if we weren't here. soledad: without federal money, what is the strategy or the formula for remaining viable for making it all work? >> rural health care in particular as an independent is breakeven business at best with reimbursements and uninsured so high

they just lost another patient with the hearing patients calling from oxygen intensive care. and that's in there about 15 people who are struggling for their lives. and we just had to witness how the body has been removed out of a room full of patients. and as it can see, the same as quickly being filled again. the hospital director is worried. they need 5 times more oxygen and far more high flow oxygen machine than they have. and we in africa need those high flow devices. they're very expensive. so for them we lose lives that could be saved because these devices are not available. health officials believe the number of corona virus cases is much higher than recorded, especially in villages where people can't afford the transferred to a hospital. you come on, come on and move to where we jennifer we d bird. her younger sister 2 days ago. it went very fast. just as a bird headache, fever, shortness of breath would be greatly it all started on sunday. when church, she felt unwell by the time saturday came, it was too much for her to bear. she was taken towards the door and the

we had families with patients. the families had, you know, one of them had symptoms, but only one or 2 people got tested. those will just all assume that the work was punitive. and they were just given treatment according because there was no testing available. so they have to ramp up testing. they have to get the vaccination and please, and they have to continue to isolate the patient. education is. so korea is so important, not just for india and covered 1902nd way, but for all of us around the world. and there's been some very tricky moments for india regarding information education and misinformation. let us start with something i'm going to call black fungus doctor jeter. for then you're going to tell me the medical name for it and why it's coming. a big problem. go ahead. so it's, let's mean, give it the proper name that's going to call my siblings and of this fungus i of, you know, she'll be a little bit of a cross through the boat where it's coming from because in the previous leave or to we give that many

when i looked at the numbers of patients in my first 150 here, we were seeing about 20% to 30% of patientsomplaining about tinnitus, ringing in the ears, or lack of sense of taste or smell. the best way to overcome that is sensory retraining. this is something our ear, nose and throat specialists are able to offer. it is a long process of going through and smelling different foods that you have a strong recognition for, whether it be coffee and then telling yourself it is coffee. it is retraining your memory of what those smells and tastes maybe. that is one thing our specialists can help for. i am glad to hear you will be getting the vaccine. not a lot of data out there as far as whether it is going to help your symptoms are not -- or not but there is a lot of anecdotal information out there, people saying their symptoms improved after getting the vaccine. anyone who is a long-hauler, i recommend getting the vaccine. protect yourself from getting another infection down the line and with the impossibility that you may see some improvement in your symptoms. host: our next caller is not far

- staff or patients at risk? yes, there are _ staff or patients at risk?staff or patients at risk? yes, there are moments when - staff or patients at risk? yes, there are moments when we | staff or patients at risk? yes, . there are moments when we had staff or patients at risk? use: there are moments when we had a significant shortage in an individual setting, so hospitals that got to the limit of the number of patients they could have on oxygen. that wasn't the actual oxygen. that wasn't the actual oxygen in cell, it was the piping, the supply mechanism. but because of the supply mechanism. but because of the nhs, we were able to divert patients to other hospitals, and in some cases move them to other hospitals. it is one of the many advantages of having the nhs during advantages of having the nhs during a pandemic, and as i said at the start, some of the things that went well wear because we had such strong institutions, and in this case we have the nhs, which had record funding and record levels of staff going into this, and thank goodness that we did,

the services of that team to patients who are black/african american patients who are still not vaccinated to see what the response might be. we're working very hard to set up electronic work flows and team based work flows and this means getting the vaccine with all of this logistics, the complexities of the logistics around it to all of our site. and there has been some change in the policy of wastage around this from the state. previously, we did not let this happen because we could not ensure that all 15 doses of moderna would be used within the hours needed but now we are prioritizing easy access for anyone that wants to come in and have that vaccine. and so finally for the future as we're pivoting and we're seeing the demand go down, we are going to be pivoting our operational strategy as well. so we're thinking it's going to be key in terms of equity and drop-in. mobilization. we're going to intensify our collaboration around the public outreach and intensify our focus on racial equity. our operational shift is going to shift from the high volume to integration into routine care and

that patient would die from smallpox. they were also afraid the person infected and inoculated would infect others in the community and lead to a smallpox outbreak. also, the variolation process. because you are transferring biological matter from one person to another, there is a risk can transfer other diseases as well. people did not understand the biology of that but through their observation, they noticed some diseases were passed along by variolation. syphilis and others. some oppose variolation on religious grounds. they felt any attempt to stop a god-given disease was counter to god's will. there was a lot of controversy sounding -- surrounding the practice. even though its mortality rates were far lower than if you had smallpox without variolation, 2% mortality rate from the smallpox you got through variolation versus 30% mortality rate if you just develop smallpox naturally. the people who supported variolation very much embraced its protective measures that lead to lower mortality rates. we see, um, the controv

the doctor/patient relationship is the cornerstone. can you discuss the impact of political interference in that confidential relationship on your capacity as a medical provider to provide care, to provide confidential and accurate medical consultation to your patients? dr. perritt: it is absolutely disruptive. i am not a lawyer, i am a doctor. i'm not a politician. and so the idea that anyone should be able to interrupt the legislative efforts, the conversations we are having, deeply personal and private. and confidential conversations are for folks who are making decisions about their future, about their well-being. it is absolutely unethical. and we have seen leading medical associations, let the american college of ob/gyns, who have come out very clearly stating that these legislations, the barriers that would help protect us against, are absolutely disruptive and they disintegrate the relationship between patients and providers. sen. ossoff: thank you for his -- for your responses. i yield back. chair blumenthal: thanks. i would l
