DOCTORS PAID TO KEEP YOU ILL?

Pamela0106 profile image

Doctors are being FINANCIALLY INCENTIVISED to STOP YOUR T3 Thyroid Medication.

This is a REAL example of one CCG’s “Prescribing Quality and Savings Incentive Scheme“ which urges Doctors to stop your Liothyronine and move you to T4 Levothyroxine Monotherapy.

I've been saying this for ages! Thanks for providing the actual 'proof'. For 10p a Doc will actually endanger people's health and wellbeing..? Whatever happened to "first, do no harm!..??? This is going to cost the NHS a fortune, and won't/can't save money either in the short or long term! It'll waste a lot of medications in the process of endangering patient's health and even increased demands for medical appointments from people who the alternative drugs make ill. Total Madness..!

Sorry Pamela. ❤️️ I more than understand and appreciate the problem re T3, which is totally disgusting, I didn't make it clear that I understood the point of your Post. B xx

Pamela0106 profile image
Pamela0106 in reply to LadyBarb

Completely agree. It’s madness to attach only 10p to it. Is that what our health is worth?

But I guess like most incentive programs there’s lots of meds with lots of earnings attached. They all add up in the end.

For me it’s not about the money. It’s the fact they’re targeting doctors on the removal of T3 from patients full stop.

The addition of a financial incentive only corrupts it even more - people will be aiming to achieve a performance target rather than focus on what the patient needs.

It’s all kinds of wrong.

so ironic they will pay 600+/pcm for 30 pills but value it at .10p!!!

Clutter profile image
Clutter in reply to joydot

Joydot,

10p per patient is the incentive (bribe) to the GP practice for switching patients from Liothyronine to Levothyroxine. The incentive will be paid out of the monthly saving the CCG makes between the cost of Liothyronine at £258+ for 28 x 20mcg tablets and the cost of Levothyroxine <£3 for 28 tablets.

Personally I think all CCGs should go the same way as the PCTS did. That would save a fortune.

Hi, thanks for sharing this. I have now read the full consultation, put forward my views and signed and shared the petition. This should not come to money. I would urge every thyroid sufferer to do the same thing as for some lucky people Levi alone works .... but not always forever as I know from personal experience over 22 years.

I signed the CCG thing and said it was direct discrimination, 90% of thyroid patients are women.

We all know this is about money they will put every one of us on antidepressants and say it's all in our heads because it's cheaper.

Honestly we'd be better with our own mass lottery syndicate. Win big and open our own treatment centres.

It's a world gone mad. If I can't get my meds I can't work and I cost the state benefits. If I get my meds, I earn £120,000 and pay over £50,000 tax.

Just give us our medication and let us go back to work

Exactly I've been on and off work for the last 22yrs because of this kept telling my doctors I'm over and under active no one believed me until I moved to Birmingham and told a doctor here and he did the bloods and finally referred me to Queens Elizabeths hospital but the waiting time for appointments is crazy my appointment has been changed 5times. I give up and try and find ulternatve medication. Natural remedies.

That's always the case the good ones always move away! When I was in Coventry I had a gp he was excellent he got all the tests done for me ct scans xrays everything but he moved aboard. But the doctor here in Birmingham is good so far he's referred me to q.e. so I hope I get some one good. Appointments in December now.

Following my own research of Levothyroxin fillers,I am looking at changing over to NDT. Here in Scotland, the nhs don't seem to acknowledge NDT therefore I am locating a private doctor for a prescription to send to England. I am fed up with the negative response from doctors and their shouting behaviour. I m leaving Scotland anyway!

I said similar.

Unfortunately the only other product I know about is gluten free foods and as I'm aware that some disadvantaged girls can't afford sanitary production I linked the two together.

I pointed out that they are clearly not paying attention to the Equalities and Health Inequalities when making their decisions but finance, and in the longer term it will cost the NHS more in emergency emissions.

“They will put every one of us on antidepressants and say it is all in our heads because it’s cheaper...”

And the antidepressants are probably only cheaper because of OTHER financial incentives from the companies that make them!! The whole system is so corrupt!!!!

bluebug profile image
bluebug in reply to molliemdz

You can either make a drug really expensive then the NHS won't prescribe it or you can make it at a certain price point where the NHS can be conned into prescribing it for everyone if there is enough research. Even better if it is medicine for an organ that you can't definitively research, that way other scientists can't accuse you of hiding data.

Well done for bringing this to light.

It was only yesterday my doctor rang to say they would not be giving me t3 as it has been proved to be unstable. I protested, apparently she is contacting the endocrinologist to see if he will allow me to continue!

Is said I bet it's the cost which she denied......do they think we are stupid!!

SlowDragon profile image
SlowDragonAdministrator in reply to Heritage

If you have initially seen NHS endocrinologist and been prescribed Liothyronine (through GP) it should NOT be stopped by CCG. You have clinical need confirmed by specialist.

This was confirmed by Graham Jackson at the London NHS England consultation

I think Michael Moseley could usefully devote a whole TV programme to the subject of T3 withdrawal and the appalling debacle. He touched on it in one of his recent documentaries. He is a producer as well as presenter so holds a certain amount of power when it comes to commissioning. Though perhaps he would see it as a step too far?

SlowDragon profile image
SlowDragonAdministrator in reply to AmandaK

Perhaps we should all contact the show, bombard them with individual accounts of how T3 has helped, the battle to get it......only for it then to be taken away due to combination of corporate greed and medical bigotry in the face of increasing clear scientific evidence that T4 monotherapy leaves many patients hypo.

What is the world coming to? Why are hypothyroid suffers being targeted?

T3 stopped and NDT becoming impossible to pay for despite being perfectly legal to purchase for personal use.

This naked yet underhand move to force everyone on to T4 even if it makes us poorly/unable to work/needing a list of medicines as long as your arm to try and redress the worst symptoms of simply being undermedicated and lacking adequate T3 that a couple of NDT tablets daily can right (in my case) no amount of protest, campaigns, letters to MPs etc seems to make one blind bit of difference in fact it seems to have brought all this persecution to a head. It is a great injustice about which we seem powerless to redress. It is all very depressing.

Lilian15 profile image

Does this mean 10p a month (which is usually how it is prescribed) or 10p a one off? I would suggest if the GP is so much in need of that 10p I would offer them 20p to keep prescribing it lol. What happens if a non thyroid patient comes to the doctor with say a bad infection, does the doctor collect 10p because they only needed to prescribe an antibiotic and did not prescribe T3 ;) Doctors should be paid for curing a patient, or giving them the best quality of life. By doing that the patient will end up being less a drain on the NHS and money will be saved that way.

Pamela0106 profile image
Pamela0106 in reply to Lilian15

10p per patient!

They are targeted to get 4 patients in any of the categories of meds switched and they make 40p per patient switched x

Total corruption and the deeper you go down the rabbit hole the darker and deeper it gets! Millions of people have been harmed by statins all because doctors were incentivised and still are! Also antidepressants are incentivised! But when it comes to B12 injections or thyroid medication we have to go into battle.

Big pharma are in control!

The biggest money spinner for doctors are vaccinations, they are paid for each one and then receive a bonus for teaching a certain target percentage of the total patients.

Flu jab = £19.80 read the patient information leaflet!

I keep getting texts from my GP for myself and my kids to sign up for a free jab.

Then I read the other day in the news that they’re expecting this to be a particularly bad flu season. Probably the vaccine makers are releasing these “bad” flu bugs themselves, just to sell more vaccines!

Pure evil.

AloeAli profile image

I think the reason for this is definitely money - but through an indirect route. I think they know very well that T3 helps most people, but if our thyroid is working well all the knock on problems like digestion issues, exhaustion, weight gain, (possibly leading to Diabetes), chronic pain, foggy head and more, followed by depression, (because of all these genuine issues), is now, if not entirely gone, severely depleted, thus removing the need to visit the GP and him or her prescribing lots of ghastly drugs. Big Pharma needs and loves us to be ill of course, not help us in the slightest, but simply make people feel more ill and helpless. Then when rock bottom is hit they are told it's all in their heads because the 'blood test' says they are just fine. It's always been this way and I know I'm sounding negative, but it's simply not in their financial interest for us to be fit and well - on only one medication.....

in reply to AloeAli

Thats exactly whats happening in italy too! My doctor never want to test my vitamin level, neither the t3 levels, he only wrote on the rx paper to do the TSH test (and other minor important test) because for him i dont have a problem and if nothing shows up in the results i have to go to a psicologist

Camdentown profile image

Why 60%? That sounds like a nice round number. It indicates acceptance that the other 40% still require T3, but how is the differentiation assessed? Does any one work in the NHS and could find out how these figures are worked out?

As with anything 60% is the minimum target.

Finally managed to get GP to refer me to endo, but not because of thyroid (that's fine!!!!! not) but because cortisol is very high. Saw him 2 days ago, but when I said I'd noticed that my cortisol goes up when my T3 is low (i,e not taking T3 I bought online) but comes down when it's above bottom of the range (when I am), he immediately said "you can't have T3 on NHS". When I said that this was under consideration he said that he didn't know about other areas, but there's no chance whatsoever of it be prescribed here: Staffordshire.

This is the real world we live in today. And it is up to us to change when United together.

However, in the mean time you have a choice to buy your own t3 from abroad and improve your health as I am doing since last 10 years. And even including customs & VAT charge paid t3 can be imported from abroad at much lower cost than buying in UK or Europe.

We buy many other items eg clothes, shoes, mobile phones, TV etc made in China or Korea etc.

Be positive, get better and continue fighting NHS & System together without getting angry. Anger cost thyroid sufferers very dear in valuable lost energy.

One day I intend to see imported t3 of good quality available in UK to all those who do not have knowledge for importing from abroad.

I wish they’d see this isn’t an attack at the NHS or the doctors within it. It’s in their defence! They shouldn’t be targeted to remove a drug where there is no alternative (and they can say T4 Levothyroxine is the same all they want - it’s NOT).

It’s a dig at the people behind the money wheel. It’s not to scorn an already underfunded NHS.

This sort of thing is also going on in the USA. The argument goes like this:

This is one reason why most “natural” treatments in America are now private-pay. The patent-drug-oriented medical care system would like to shutdown naturopaths, chiropractors, and other “alternative” care providers COMPLETELY, if they could. I’ve known about this for years, but don’t know how to do anything about it. The average medical consumer, who wants health insurance, doesn’t understand that their insurance doesn’t cover the style of care that will truly make them well - and (in the longterm) reduce overall medical expense. It makes perfect sense that the patent-drug-oriented medical system doesn’t want to reduce their income. They are similar to the fossil-fuel industry, which also has people addicted to a toxic product.

I can't afford private all the time, too. The problem is, corporate interests and hyper-capitalism have created a healthcare system which DOES NOT WORK for those with even moderately complex conditions. The debate about universal coverage is a hollow exercise because of this.
