@GullCoveCapital Like all other opposition pieces, this article assumes "facts" not in evidence. The reality is joint testing is needed. $NN has been pushing for this for 2 years, but the opposition has resisted. Why is that? IMHO the key part of the article is below: https://t.co/LFpFs7ebCu

@AurelionRsch There's 2x $MEXX and 2x $BRZU, but there hasn't been enough underlying volatility to cause them to blow up like semis or Korea.

From the $TOI Q4 call: “That’s actually a very important question and something that we continue to try to drive clarity with our investors on, which is the MA rate cycle and sort of pressure that you’ve seen health plans and full risk, medical groups that are getting a percent of premium face is actually a tailwind for TOI.Our top line Medicare Advantage reimbursement is not a percent of total premium. It’s not impacted by risk adjustment. In fact, pressure on the top line for payers generally causes them to reach out more proactively when it comes to seeking opportunities to provide great care for their patients and good access while also driving improvement in utilization. And so from that perspective, that actually helps our growth. So we tend to get lumped into some of those macro issues with payers, but I just want to make it very clear that, that is actually probably a good thing for TOI.”
