ACG is here to help members regarding UnitedHealthcare's national gold card program. Although GI procedures were not included, many codes for GI imaging-related studies were selected. While ACG remains skeptical of gold card programs, practices who frequently use these imaging codes might find participation beneficial for your UHC patient population.

We're excited to announce - Episode 4 of Modern Gastro: A Conversation with GI Pioneers We’re excited to bring you the latest episode of Modern Gastro, where we dive deep into the world of gastroenterology with two esteemed guests who are not only pioneers in the field but also extraordinary people. In this episode, CDI CEO Craig S. Strasnick had the privilege of hosting two practicing physicians and key opinion leaders— Brennan Spiegel, MD, MSHS and Hetal Karsan —a duo he's been fortunate to know and collaborate with over the years. Here's a recap from Craig: From the get-go, I must express how much I’ve learned from Dr. Spiegel, who has been a colleague and mentor throughout my early career. His guidance has been invaluable, and while I might have contributed a thing or two on the business side, his influence has been profound. The same goes for Dr. Karsan, with whom I’ve had the pleasure of working for many years. Our professional and personal relationships have blossomed, and I’m immensely grateful to call both of these brilliant individuals my friends. In this episode, we discuss their latest co-published book, Guide to the Guidelines: A Vignette-Based Journey Through the ACG Clinical Practice Guidelines. This book has already received tremendous acclaim, and I’m thrilled to have them share more about its creation and impact. But before we dive into the details of the book, we explore the origin story of their collaboration—a journey that dates back to their fellowship days at UCLA.
