My Health 
Today I received a very interesting letter from a health care professional that I know and is in general practice. Quote the
dragon: “I now get daily reminders from many insurers about the need to use Statins for patients with Type 2 diabetes or anyone diagnosed with type 2. Many of these daily reminders include the name of the (insured) patient with a questionnaire as to why I have not yet prescribed statin therapy.
The inference is that not doing so can be considered negligent and can cause a reduction in payment from the insurance company”. He included one of the forms, happens to be from Next Rx and it goes into all the studies that claim that Statins reduce CVD in diabetics and then goes on to address the dosage protocols.
We have known this to be the case for years, but finally here it is in writing from a truly concerned professional.
