Satire or irony
“So, with luck, in just over 20 years, these evidence-based treatments will be subject to the same absurd and degrading process for prior authorization demanded by UnitedHealth Group for OCD and Depression we love today…if it feels closer than ever!”
After stating that RCT data now support TMS approaches to both positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia, the author sarcastically forecasts that payer coverage of TMS for schizophrenia, with prior authorization as UnitedHealth Group requires for OCD and depression, will take roughly 20 years to arrive. He then suggests readers call their congressperson or health plan.
Marked or evident satire, hyperbole or irony.
