United HealthCare Services terrible service/no coverage

While being insured with Golden Rule/United Health Care, I have had nothing but problems. I started my insurance coverage on Feb. 23, 2009, and my husband went to the doctors March 9, 2009 and they would not cover it. Then I went to the emergency room on May 31st, 2009 and my copay(which they call deductible) was $100. I was formally told by Golden Rule that was all I would have to pay $100 if I were to go to the emergency room. Well my final bill was $581.00 that Golden Rule would not pay. There answer was "We are sorry that you were not informed of how your coverage works." DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM! You might us well not have coverage!

United HealthCare Services claims they have no record of approval letter for surgery

My surgeon and I both received a letter from Medica - United Health Care that stated that I was approved for an open roux-en-y surgery that was good from [protected]-2009. I had said surgery 02-16-2009. The insurance company have paid for the surgeon fees, anestesia fees, CT scans, x-rays, labs, etc. I received a bill from the hospital for $47, 000. The insurance company investigated and their conclusion was that this service (the surgery) required pre-approval and that I did not have approval for this surgery, therefore I am responsible for the bill. Luckily, my surgeon had his copy of the letter. I faxed it to the insurance company and followed up with a phone call. I have not heard back. If someone scams an insurance company, they go to jail. An insurance company tries to scam a paying customer and what?

CONTACT YOUR STATE'S INSURANCE REGULATORY OFFICE. IF YOU CANNOT FIND OUT HOW TO GET IN TOUCH WITH THEM, CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR'S OFFICE - AND THEY SHOULD KNOW.

CONTACT YOUR LOCAL BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU OFFICE TO FIND OUT HOW TO REACH THEM IF YOU CAN'T FIND THEM ONLINE OR IN THE YELLOW PAGES.

THIS IS A VERY COMMON PRACTICE WITH INSURERS. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU CONTACT THESE PEOPLE TO HELP YOU APPEAL THIS SHIFTY, DISHONEST TACTIC:

http://www.advocacyforpatients.org/health.php

THEY HELP PEOPLE FILE APPEALS TO THINGS LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME, THEY CHARGE NOTHING WHATSOEVER, AND THEY HAVE ABOUT AN 85% TO 95% SUCCESS RATE.

ALSO CONTACT YOUR FEDERAL REPRESENTATIVE (CONGRESSMAN AND/OR SENATOR) BECAUSE THEY ARE WORKING ON LEGISLATION RIGHT NOW THAT ADDRESSES INSURANCE COVERAGE IMPROVEMENTS -- AND THEY WANT TO KNOW ABOUT PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN CHEATED BY HEALTH INSURERS THROUGH TACTICS LIKE THIS. IT IS NOT UNCOMMON FOR PEOPLE TO HAVE PROCEDURES PRE-CERTIFIED, ONLY TO HAVE THE INSURER LIE AND SAY IT WAS NEVER APPROVED. IT'S HAPPENED TO ME.

CONTACT THE AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND LET THEM KNOW ABOUT THIS. THEY'RE ADVOCATING FOR PATIENTS WHO'VE BEEN SCREWED OVER BY INSURERS. ALSO, YOU MIGHT WANT TO CONTACT YOUR LOCAL MEDIA, BECAUSE HEALTH CARE COVERAGE AND DENIALS ARE A VERY, VERY HOT TOPIC RIGHT NOW. IF YOU WANT, THEY CAN KEEP YOUR IDENTITY CONFIDENTIAL.

United HealthCare Services eob - explanation of benifits

Several Explanation of Benifits indicate that the submitted claim was not paid because the physician was out of network. I've been with this Primary Care Physician for several years. I checked their directory of In-Network providers and he does appear on the list. To submitt an appeal you have to print and complete a form, then send it via postal mail. In this day and age of modern information systems you would think that United Healthcare could provide this service online. I would guess that they are trying to delay as long as possible having to address the complaints.

So far this year UHC has paid five claims of ours as out of network for providers that are clearly in network. The reason they give is the provider billed for a code he is not authorized, an extended office visit instead of a regular office visit. This shift the entire claim to my out of pocket. If the provider made a mistake why should it be my responsibility? UHC is really disreputable.

The doctors, clinics, etc should NOT be sending their patients to places for further treatment, that ARE NOT in the network, They are suppose to be knowledgable of whom THEY work with, so don't blame the patient. I see that as your screw up that you pass on to your patients!

United HealthCare Services changing of tier one drugs

When it was time to choose an insurance company for my medicare "gap" coverage I called medicare and worked with an associate for over an hour to establish the correct insurance carrier that would best serve my needs. I have been disabled with behcet's disease since 1986. there was a list of medications that I had been on for over five years when I spoke with the medicare representative about the best carrier for my needs; the focus for my medi-gap was then and now strictly my medication coverage. with behcets syndrome the right dose, route & consistency of medications is everything for optimal treatment of the disease and my quality of life! taking these points into consideration the medicare representative moved forward finding united healthcare as the one who not only had each of my then 16 meds “formulary”. all but one drug (lovenox injectable) to be in tier one! I signed up right away; even signing up for the extended health care policy to guarantee my meds would suffer no “donut hole” or “gap”. all of this extra care to insure these medications would stay within my very limited budget
effective january 2009 I received a notification from aarp that two of my medications would stop being offered in tier 1. one medication was taken off the covered list all together! the two medications that were moved to different tiers were lovanox inj (moved to 4) and fentanyl (moved to tier 3…after conversations with my rx and my physician was moved up into tier 2).in approximately one month my tiers 2-4 medications will not be covered at all, no co-pay, nothing!
I joined united healthcare with the guidance of my assigned representative from medicare. our focus when choosing this plan was solely the importance of my medications and the need to have them “tiered” so I could manage to pay for them and by doing so, live.
I have been on these medications for the over five years and took the united health care policy in good faith that they would continue to look out for my best health interests. three of the drugs I have need for have been “adjusted” on united health cares-formulary.
an example of one of these drugs and how the “adjustment” of tiers equates to money coming out of my very fixed and limited income: the fentanyl patches give me the quality of life that I need in order to function. this unfortunately is also an addictive drug so you can understand why I am frightened at this change of tier. with just this one drug I will go from paying $5.00 to $6.00, then $7.00 last year (and the years since I signed with united healthcare). now, starting january of 2009 the same drug is $39.00 per month, come june I will have no co - pay at all! the approximate price of $350.00 per month! that is just one drug out of pocket…one of 14 drugs that I am on. (I just wanted to note here that even tier one drugs have gone up to $14.00 a co-pay.)
I feel so very ill looking over my potential drug costs when the “gap-hole” takes place. if I do without I potentially can die. the tier one drug increase during this “gap” period as well as the tiers 2, 3 & 4 changes is not what I signed up for. this issue was made clear when I signed up for my rx benefits. it is not that I have recently been placed on the medications and I can work with my doctor to find other formulary replacements…no, I signed up understanding that my representative understood my need to have certain drugs covered. you signed me up with the understanding of my rx needs were tier one, once signed I have no way to change my medicare coverage.
now you rethink the tiers with your formulary drugs! this is unfair and not what I needed or expected!

United Healthcare exists to rip us off. A brand name drug I take has always been tier 3 with a $50 co-pay. It went generic in December of 2013 and I filled a prescription for the generic version at the tier 1 co-pay of $10. Today, one month later, I go to re-fill the generic and the co-pay is back up to $50 and they have made the generic tier 3. I received no notice of this change. Why would a generic drug be tier 3? Money grubbing ###.

I am thinking Class-Action Lawsuit.

Affinity Healthcare is worse then anyone, A friend on pain medications has had no problems with united healthcare community plan threw medicaid for years now, covering his oxycontin 80mg 8x daily, along with 9 oxy30mg ir for break threw pain. I'am on similar dose's of both meds with Affinity and recently as of JUNE 1st 2012 they sent me a letter saying i was restricted to one pain dr for all Opiate medications. Its a DR iv never seen before, and when i called his office they said all they do is pain injections no pain medicine. So basically affinity picked out a dr that doesn't write oxycodone and restricted me to him ONLY. ! Scam Artists. I changed to United Healthcare, that just went into affect last week, So far they paid for my oxycodone but a prior authorizations needed for the oxycontin, that takes up to 24 hours if the dr says its urgent or 74 hours if its a regular prior approval. So now im stuck at there mercy for a few days waiting for my long acting meds, That i desperately need... The only good thing is affinity healthcare would have my MD call and approve the PA on the phone within 10 minutes. On the down side they made you wait till the 1st of the month to switch new primary care doctors.. So you would have to wait 20-30 days sometimes to see a new dr, and a specialist would require your primary to give a referral to see them... I guess ill soon find out united's policy seeing specialists as i see a endo every other month... If your disabled, older or out of work USA healthcare sucks, exp threw medicaid... Mostly i pay cash for my PM dr, none will take medicaid in my parts. They run the other way... I know most dr's get $35 a patient, and no check/payment comes for 6 months... Thats why they overbook and spend 3-5 mins with each patient.

Same here after my pain management doctor sent in their form filled out to request my subutex it was refused by unitedhealthcare so I guess they want me back to taking more expensive pain killers. So I think i will just go back to oxycontin and let the doctor prescribe oxycontin once again. The oxycontin is even more expensive thant the 2mg 3 daily of subutex. Their out of their minds. I guess it will take someone going ballistic on headquarters to get their attention as to how essential this drug is to a patients' well being. In my opinion alot of chaos will develope in the future between the haves and have nots. So theres my two cents. Wake up UNITED HEALTHCARE and quit letting your customers needlessly suffer, jerks! Jim Shook Charlotte, North Carolina PS I have been on this stuff for three near four years and now pay cash which is five dollars per pill. I have to needlessly suffer behind some rich ### GREED>

I have been taking Subutex for 5-years under BC/BS - recently moved to CO and was only offerd United H.C. - when my RX was picked up I was appalled to find out the medication was 1, 000. $500 more than the cost without insurance in FL and was NOT covered by U.H.C. - This medication saved my life and to find that it is not covered and $1, 000 a month was so heartbreaking. I don;t understand why a "health care provider", would take away medicationjs that 1. Save Lives 2. Eliminate future mnedical costs due to complications from not affording your medications and 3. Threaten the lives of their customers by taking away medication. In the long-run it will cost thgem more in hospital bills because people will become ill by not taking their PRESCRIBED MEDS. APPALLING! They cover nothing and I am opting to go with an insurance company that covers my medications as the savings between paying their member dues and my medications would clearly be a better alternative. THIS PLAN IS THE WORST I HAVE EVER SEEN!

United HealthCare Services damage paitents health

My wife has been suffering from bone loss for many years, last April fell and broke both legs. As the only drug offered to enhance bone growth her physician prescribed Forteo, which she has been injecting herself daily for almost a year now. With their drug approval service they will not fill a prescription a few days early so these devices have 28 doses per vial. Called last Thursday to get refilled, pharmacy had to call doctor to get a renewed prescription which they did. Her drugs ran out yesterday, now after a year United Health Care needs the doctor to approve this medication, THE DOCTOR WROTE THE PRESCRIPTION! What does that tell you... Now this process will take who knows how long to process and all the advantages that this drug has provided my wife is mute...
What can be done? This stalling process by the insurance company can be dangerous to a patients health...

I also take Forteo and have done so for over a year now. My husband recently lost his job and had to go on COBRA. There was a period where I had the same problem as your wife and was at risk of not getting a new monthly supply of the medication. Fortunately, I had somehow been able to get about 3-5 more days from each vial, which enabled me to bridge the time between when the insurance company would not cover me for additional months and when it finally was re-instated.

First of all, it is not UHC that approves or denies drugs...that would be your prescription drug plan. A formulary is available upon request. Second, most drugs that are preauthorized by your physician are covered to some degree if it is deemed medically necessary so maybe you need to go back to your physician and ask for a preauth to be sent to the company for approval. Hope that this gives you the avenue that you need to find a resolution to a very common misunderstanding.

United HealthCare Services dropping all but one orthopaedic surgeon in my city

I fell in Feb. and broke both bones in my lower left leg. Had to have surgery and titanium rod placed in my tibia. I am still under the care of the orthopaedic surgeon and doing physical therapy twice a week.

I recently got a letter that said UHC is dropping the group of orthopaedic doctors my doctor is in, leaving one surgeon in the whole town. Oh, but that's OK - there are at least 24 other doctors within 25-30 miles of where I live. They just don't happen to be the one that did my surgery or the follow-up care. I've called UHC to get an extension so I don't have to change doctors. getting anything out of them is impossible and trying to find out how to file a complaint is even harder. I'm at the end of my rope trying to figure this out.

United HealthCare Services health care discrimination

This is the 4th demand to change pharmacies for my life & death prescription medication. UPS will leave unattended at my door-step expensive medication once a month because I can have to work the job to keep the health-care benefits. This may sound petty but Suzanne Tschida at United Health Care has made a conscience decision to treat me less than human. How much savings can there be for my pills?

Did you know it takes you complaining just a little over 40, 000 times before UHC starts to care? I was experiencing a problem with them processing my claims timely and accurately. Using firefox, I downloaded the imacro add on. Logged onto myuhc.com as usual. Then hit record on the imacro, click feedback and issued my complaint and submitted it. I then stopped recording the macro. I then used the macro play loop, looping the macro 99, 999 and minimized the window. I found that in about 4 hours 10, 000 complaints would be sent this way...four days later 42K complains later UHC was calling trying to solve the problem. So I encourage you to do the same. They start caring when your feedback starts impacting their stats.

United HealthCare Services bait and switch - network

United HealthCare, a company infamous for its billion dollar offering to departing ceo william mcguire, has terminated its contract with our local hospital - the hospital asked to negotiate rates that were above medicare rates (in line with all commercial insurers) and United HealthCare declined, removing the hospital and all our local physicians from its network - employers and employees who signed on with unitedhc because of access to our local health care providers are now forced to travel many miles to find doctors who will accept new patients - sounds like a system designed to limit our access to care, and keep costs for the insurer down, allowing them more $$$ for those multi-million dollar salaries (mcguires 2005 compensation was @ 124.8 million according to sec filings - roughly 5% of the company's net income in some estimates - WE WANT OUR DOCTORS AND OUR HOSPITAL AND WE WANT THEM PAID A FAIR RATE!

United HealthCare Services denied claims

My health plan with United HealthCare states that it will pay 80% of "eligible" expenses after $400 deductible. I have weekly outpatient therapy sessions, and my doctor is an out-of-network provider. My plan states it will pay for out of network or in network once I have met the deductible of $400. I have met the deductible, but they continue to deny my benefits and reimbursements. I've called, the representative said they (United persons) were putting in my "old" United account number that I had with a previous employer. She said she corrected it, but recent claims show again I have been denied. I'd like to know if I can take any further action with this - this is my plan through my employer.

Thank you for your consideration

My Plan states:

80% of eligible expenses after satisfying $400 deductible.

Any combination of Network and Non-Network Benefits for Mental Health Services is limited to 52 days per calendar year.

UHC has denied a legitimate claim for my stepmother, who was prescribed an oxygen generator for her COPD and cancer. The machine was purchased in February 2020 and been fighting for reimbursement since. My stepmother passed away in January 2021, and my 85 year old father and I have been fighting for almost 2 years - each time getting a runaround, more demands, "lost" claims, and each time they promise to pay within 30 days (of course they do not). I have filed a claim with California Insurance Commissioner today on behalf of my father - one should not be toyed with for 2 years in hopes my father will give up on a $4,000 + claim! Shame on you, UHC!

As a retired Navy with Tricare (administered through United Healthcare) I also have insurance through ALLSAVERS (Another United Healthcare administered policy) Below is a statement which I sent to The office of Senator John McCain of Arizona United Healthcare sent me and the senator a response which they state justifies their reasoning for refusing payment. It seems to me that they should be finding ways to address their members health rather than putting so much energy into finding ways to deny claims. UHC is starting to make the VA look good.
Before reading this letter and deciding I am just bucking the system, Be advised that I have followed the directions provided to me, and have made many, many inquiries for directions with little to no success. With this in mind please continue to read.
I am Looking to anyone who can provide me direction and relief with the issues I have experienced getting my family and myself consistent and adequate health care coverage through Tricare since United healthcare assumed the administration of military healthcare benefits.
There has been much attention given to the gaps in treatment for Veterans through the VA. The administration of Tricare health coverage has become a nightmare in comparison. Tricare Providers are dropping out due to extreme billing issues; it takes months to get appointments for Specialty Care for myself as well as my family. When we do get appointments, on almost every occasion I have had to make multiple calls to get billing issues corrected.

Let me provide you some details on the issues I have had.
1. In Late November of 2014 I sought inpatient treatment for PTSD/Depression which was the result of the loss of my entire family (father, older brother, younger brother and mother) all to separate accidents while I was deployed. In setting this up I went to Luke Air Force Base and consulted with referral services. I was told that the service was covered and tricare would follow the rules of the Primary insurance. Based on that I scheduled myself to be checked in on January 3rd. After my treatment I filed a claim with UHC.mil otherwise referred to as Tricare. My Claim was rejected 4 times for additional information which I provided each time. The claim for $4000 was ultimately denied because the provider had opted out as a Tricare provider on January 1st due to problems getting paid through Tricare. This Opt Out occurred 3 day prior to my admission however had not been updated due to the holiday. I was being denied reimbursement over a 3 day difference filed several appeals with no results.
Tricare has closed all of its local offices to the end that there is no ability to find face to face assistance with issues. Each time you make a call you connect to a different agent who only knows what they can see on their screen.
After almost 18 months of resubmissions and appeals I made several visits (3) to Luke Air Force Base and spoke with the Patient advocate. I was excited on my first visit that I might finally make some progress. Unfortunately I never received the follow up calls or emails I was promised. This was true for each of my subsequent calls.
Do you get the feeling nobody cares? that is how my family and I feel.

2. January 28th 2016 I was laid off and thus lost my primary insurance. This only lasted 4 months, however UHC.Mil immediately reverted my families Primary Care Physician to Luke Air Force Base. They never notified us or our primary care doctors. This resulted in all of my family’s specialty care appointments to be cancelled. Tricare insisted that we had to get new referrals however they still neglected to notify us of our PCM Change. This resulted in continued rejection for care. 4 months later when I Found out they transferred our PCMs to 56th Medical Group at Luke AFB I informed Tricare that we had already been granted waivers to seek PCMs outside to the 56th Medical group due to their inability to provide consistent care. Here is an important key. When UHC took over Tricare from Triwest, the transfer no records of historical information. They made us go through the whole process over again.
Just as an example my wife and I suffer from sleep apnea, and to get our masks and tubes replenished they required us to get a referral from our PCM to a Pulmonologist for him to refer us to a sleep study, although we have used CPAPs for 10 years. It took us from November 2015 until October of 2016 to get this process resolved.
I have been anti depressants for several years for what they refer to as PTSD related depression. I have had to change physiatrist 3 times as they decided to drop tricare because of difficulties in dealing with UHC.MIL.
3. Just this morning my 22 year old daughter who remains a full time college student was turned away from her Dental Appointment. I was informed that although I had updated DEERs as required, DEERs neglected to update Delta Dental.
I have made 3 trips to LUKE AFB to seek guidance from the 56th Medical Group Patient Advocate and did not receive one follow up email or phone call as promised.
A recent UHC.MIL news letter said it is the patient’s responsibility to confirm the provider is still an authorized provider the day of the appointment. That means that an appointment which it took me 2-3 months to get could be cancelled because they have chosen not to tolerate UHCs handling of tricare.
I hope than you can appreciate that each time I have to file another appeal, make a phone call, and make a trip to the doctor’s office to be turned away it is time off of work, missed school and repeated delays in getting care.
As a Proud 21 year Veteran of The finest Navy in the World I expect nothing less than what was granted me when I transitioned to the Fleet Reserve. However what I have found is rules changing without notice and a determined reluctance for Tricare to assist me in correcting any of the past issues and rejected payments of the last 2 years. This is all while UNITED Healthcare reported it highest profits in years.
Whether in the VA system or a Veteran with Tricare we all deserve to get the care that those who served as well as their families were promised, and our government is paying for.

Denied inpatient physical therapy after a crippling stroke, that was supposedly "mild" but severely incapacitating. A 95% recovery was expected, but immediate inpatient PT was strongly recommended. . A week after my discharge, they sent me a letter saying that was an erroneous decision - they should have honored it. But once discharged, the hospital said I was ineligible for the inpatient PT program. PT was delayed and as a result 18 months later I still have very significant physical disabilities that would have been much reduced had timely PT been instituted. I'm looking for a lawyer. This is an eff-up that likely significantly delayed and possibly permanently limited my recovery from the stroke.

The same thing is happening to my husband currently. Did you find a lawyer to assist you? UHC sent me 3 denial letters last week for a CT scan (stroke 12/21) ordered by his Neurologist. They denied a custom wheelchair which he desperately needs. They discharged him from inpatient rehab after 2 months of appeals to get him there. It has been an absolutely awful experience dealing with UHC and they have neglected my husband by delaying treatment after his stroke when timing was of the essence.

I got a call today from the EMS service that responded to a 911 call on Oct 7 2011. The night my husband went into cardiac arrest and subsequently died. They originally sent me the entire bill and I informed them that we had perfectly good coverage and to send the bill to United health care. That was in Nov 2011. Today was 6 months later and I got a call asking me to pay a remaining balance of $1700. They couldn't tell me the reason that United had denied the rest of the claim, so I called United and told them it was a 911 call that evening. They told me that the EMS responder was an out of network one. I'm sorry..but in an emergency situation, I wouldn't think to ask the 911 operator if they are an in network ambulance! Who ever heard of such a thing! I don't know who they are going to send out..how can I possibly know? I'm giving my husband CPR and trying to keep him alive..but I'm supposed to find out if they are in network? I've never heard of anything more ridiculous and insensitive in my life. I will be filing an appeal with United.

The only complaint I have with United Health Care is their method of dealing with out of plan doctors. Our Doctor’s office called into United Health Care to get the authorization to do surgery on my wife. They were given the ok and the amount we would be responsible for. When the bills were submitted by the doctor’s office they were paid at the normal and customary rates for out of plan. They knew that the doctor was out of plan and neglected to tell him about the out of plan service called “Gap Exception” which would have covered most of the bill except for the $30 office visit. So we are told that the total amount we owe is over $2, 500. Sounds like Kaiser who in the past stuck me for $6000 +. I plan to file a complaint with the State Insurance Commission and with AT&T who my retirement plan is through.

My job switched to United August 1st and I have spent countless hours on the phone with them since then. One, I am seeing a Certified Nurse Midwife for my pregnancy and there are NO CNM's in-network. They said I should submit a gap exception request so I got my GP to try to send one in, only for her to be transferred so many times and put on hold for so long she finally called me and said, I don't have time for this - I have patients! I called to try to get the info and was transferred over and over again between different departments and several times back to general "member services" before I found someone who could give me a fax number. I'm assuming at this point the request will be denied. Additionally, I have asthma - and when I went to pick up my 2x/day asthma prescription on monday (that my asthma specialist prescribed!) I was told united will only cover it once a day, and I have to appeal that decision in writing and have my doctor send a statement of medical necessity. I thought that's what a prescription was?! And how does an insurance company get to decide what's an appropriate dosage for me, over the advice of a pulmonary specialist?! Their advice to me until the appeal is resolved is to just pay out of pocket, and this med is $80 for a 15 day supply for me. I can't afford that. I tried to call and ask if there was any kind of emergency interim exemption I could get until the appeal is done (which I am guessing will take forever, based on my other experiences with them) so I can continue to take my medicine as prescribed, seeing as how I am pregnant and an asthma attack right now could severely impact both me and the baby, and I was told that I do have emergency coverage under my plan so if that happens I should just go to the ER. Isn't it nice to know I have emergency coverage if I have an asthma attack and my baby dies, I can just go to the ER! Such a great company. I can't believe they are willing to accept the liability that comes along with telling customers things like that, or that they are willing to put a mother's/baby's life at risk over paying for a drug once a day instead of twice. NO ONE that I talked to had a phone number for the appeals department either, only a mailing address. Convenient.

1) They gave me three supposed in network providers for my child's therapy. None of them were the right specialty. Then they told me there was another one that would have been a one plus hour drive each way in traffic for weekly therapy. I told them that the provider was not within 30 mile radius as evidenced by google maps, which showed a distance of 25 miles. They told me in their system it was within 30 miles since they do it by zip codes, whatever that means. For that reason, they denied my network gap exception and I have to pay out of network copays.
2) For about 30% of claims I submit, they falsely deny them. Today I got one back with a cryptic message saying I should submit information about the claim, even though that information they asked for was already submitted and in the same explanation of benefits where they said the information was missing. When I called them, they said it should not have been denied and they have systems issues preventing them from resolving claims properly.

UHC is ridiculous. Does not stand for United HealthCare... more likely Unbelievable Hypocritical CRAP!

I am a Breast Cancer survivor and had one type of reconstruction that did not work because of 3rd degree burns from radiation. I am in constant pain, for multiple reasons and there is easily discernible visual deformity... I contacted UHC to locate a DIEP surgeon (this is the only real option if basic expander to implant surgery doesn't work) - someone from their nurse line called me back saying they did not have a specialist after they contacted 15 in-network providers.

Then they told me to file for a Gap Exception for consult - which I did. I located Dr's who do this procedure and gave them all the information as I was instructed to do. They denied the exception for different reasons (let's revisit - same procedure - same need - just different doctors) 1 was denied because they tried to call me 3 times in one day and I did not get back to them that day... (BTW I had told them I would be out of town - and they advised me to call and check the status in 4-5 days) and then one was declined because they said they have in network Dr.'s.. The first name they tried to give me was the doctor that did my original FAILED surgery - so I quickly explained they were wrong he did not do the necessary procedure.. they then sent me a letter with 3 names so I contacted the Dr's they gave me and the staff at each office stated they do not do that type of surgery.
So I sent a letter detailing this to UHC and expressing my concern that whoever is making the decision does not understand the procedure and that not all breast reconstruction after cancer is successful especially when there is damage from radiation. I also sent along a Clinical Gap Exception request (which one of their reps told me is what I needed to do) from my Primary Care Physician.

Still they are ignoring me. I do not understand. I have done everything you have asked. Believe the [censor] out of me - I would just have assumed not GETTING Stage 3 Breast Cancer at 43 years of age and needing 2 rounds of Chemotherapy - a double mastectomy - 2 additional surgeries and then daily radiation that caused 3rd degree burns... But it happened. Now it is time for UHC to do what they are supposed to do - provide care.

There should be no problem paying the provider if they agreed to pay the hospital. I would make sure that they understand that you suffered as a result of their negligence. Call the consumer affairs department and request that they reprocess the claims (all of them). Demand that they also pay the penalties and interest that are due as a result of their negligence. If they still wont cooperate then call the department of insurance and file a complaint. Moving forward always document the time, date and person you spoke with when you called. Ask them to provide you with a reference number to validate the conversation.

United HealthCare Services fraud

1) Unfair denials of coverage, and failure to explain coverage limits and exclusions
2) Unclear and accurate information.
3) Choices that leave consumers exposed to financial ruin should not be part of the end sales process.
4) I was told that the policy was' just like Blue Cross and Blue Shield'. It would 'cover everything the SAME'!
5) I was never sent a 'handbook' from any of these insurance Companies.
6) Unable to cancell policy at will
I live in Florida. At the time I was admitted to the Hospital
I was a full time student at Palm Beach Community College, prior to my illness. I had contacted PBCC to see if they had an insurance policy for the students.I had felt confident in PBCC so I bought the Policy described.
I was admitted to hospital on 3-4-07. I will always remember that Sunday.
I was diagnosed with Gullian Bare within 1 day of admission. I spent a lot of time in the cardiac care unit as well as ICU. I really thought I was not going to make it.
I had a health insurance policy with Mega Life and Health. This company has not helped insure my health at all. I am sorry they misled me into buying it. My father thought he was helping me by paying for the policy in full. In fact it has only made the situation worse.
By the 4th day of admission the pain I had felt was so bad I just wanted to die. I do not mean that in the literal sense. I had wished and prayed for death.

I was paralyzed by this disease.It started from the tip of my toes, then it climbed up to my face and eyes. It also paralyzed everything inbetween. It also effected my Vega nerve. There was no movement but incredible pain. The myelin sheath that covered my nerve endings were beginning to unravel. I had begged for a pain management doctor. My Father had tried to contact everyone that he could to help. He even offered to pay cash for a doctor to perform the service.

At this time we were informed about the poor quality of health insurance coverage that I had with Mega life. My father tried to cancel the policy with Mega life, but was told he could not. There is not a cancellation clause, unless you are dead or in the military.It had taken 4 days to get help through the hospitals process for pain management. For 4 days I went through such unbearable pain and suffering. By the way, during the healing process of the myelin sheathing returning to my nerve endings the pain was just as bad if not worse.
The last 3 weeks of my hospital stay I had been at the Cornell Rehab unit at Bethesda. I was told that once I left Cornell Rehab that I would not qualify for any additional medical or rehab benefits. This was due to Mega Life denying coverage. But I had no other choice. I was told that I was well enough to leave, but not well enough to carry on with my life. The Mega Life Insurance Company had again denied all future rehab and pain management.

I have tried to continue with my own rehabilitation program. I cannot afford the out of pocket expense for physical therapy in a traditional sense. I had received Chiropractic care once I left the hospital but Mega Life Denied these claims as well. This was even after I called to confirm that I was covered for such treatment.They said you need to be in the hospital post BACK surgury to have this benifit! I had tried again to discontinue the relationship with Mega health Insurance.I was told only if I died or joined the Armed Services!

I have received in excess of over $310, 000.00 of medical bills from various Doctors and affiliated health care professionals associated with the progress of my healing, as well as The Memorial Hospital.
I am currently still in the healing process. I still have limited mobility in both my feet and legs. I am also still in pain. I have tried to proceed with my education plans. I am trying to go back to school.
The recovery time I need to rest again is overwhelming.

I have requested help with this enormous debt from Memorial Hospital. After filling out the Charity form they supplied to me they agreed to help. They wrote off about $130, 000.00 of my medical debt. This was a relief.

At this time I have tried to contact all of the companies and agencies that send bills to me. I just do not have a way to pay off these bills. Some agencies have offered to discount the entire bill.
I have requested that Mega life and Health review all of the claims that they denied. Today was my second request. They still denied all of the claims.There are six companies involved: Mega Life and Health, Beech Street, United Health Care, Health Markets, ASCA Insurance to Students Plan, Chesapeake Health Insurance. Is there is a way to figure out who is who?

Rgsouthflorida, I also had a terrible experience with Mega and would never recommend them to anyone. I can't believe I signed up with them, based on someone's recommendation. The sales rep will tell you anything at all to get you to sign. She told me I had the "Cadillac" of insurance plans. And then when I was hospitalized, they denied almost everything, about $30, 000 in claims. The only reason I got 80 percent of it paid was the original sales rep became an executive of the company (she was so good at convincing people like me to sign up) actually approved the claims. One of the best days was the day I wrote them to cancel, three years ago. What a nightmare this company is. My advice is to avoid them like the plague. Hope you're feeling better Rgsouthflorida.

Avoid: MEGA

I agree with Rgsouthflorida. All Student Health Insurance Programs are useless and a waste of money. It would be better if uninsured than to have a health insurance program that will not cover you in a time of an emergency and is a hassle to deal with when something goes wrong.

Major health insurance companies (like Blue Cross and Humana One) needs to offer affordable insurance that cost no more than $600 a year with no deductibles. College students cannot afford health insurance because after they pay for tuition, books, student fees and personal expenses such as food and gasoline, students cannot afford a health insurance plan from a major insurance plan and the only option available is from a no name insurance company that no health clinic or medical center takes.

I believe hospitals and clinics need to accept student insurance no matter who it’s from. After all, students cannot afford major company insurance and getting co-pay from their parents can cost over $800 a month. What Rgsouthflorida went through no student should have to go through with their student insurance program because students face enough problems as a student and dealing with medical problems is not an issues students want to face.

United HealthCare Services website not up-to-date & 1-800 people are unknowledgeable!!!

Their therapeutic list of medications are so out-dated! They are listing medications that are already discontinued for more than a year as being covered, then when you order it from their Medco (mail order pharmacy), they will call your doctor to switch it with something else that they don't cover (without even letting you know). You'll end up paying meds that you might not order in the first place & pay for it full price!

Their 1-800 people sucks! They are unknowledgeable to say the least.

If you have a choice, don't ever consider UnitedHealthcare!

United HealthCare Services rip off

I had to have an emergency appendectomy on 09 October 2007. Was feeling sick to my stomach for about a week, finally the pain set in. Called my doctor, went in, they promptly sent me across the hall to the Surgeon who sent me down to the emergency room and a few hours later I am in recovery with 3 holes in me and my appendix gone. All well and good. Until today. I get my statement from UHC, which is my PPO coverage through my Union. I have an OWED charge of $2, 814.75 out of $2, 900.00. UHC covered $85.27, saying this was a 'reasonable charge' for the services provided. Seems the Surgeon who saved me from a ruptured appendix by about an hour wasn't IN my network. Ok let me understand: I am in gut wrenching pain, I am told 'we have to operate' at a moments notice and I guess I am supposed to ask 'OH! BTW, are YOU in MY network?' What the heck is THAT?! Are you serious?! And oh tell me where I can get SURGERY done for $85.27! I am sure this is the first of more charges. Like I HAD a choice here. I guess I should have asked then said 'Oh you're not? Well I am sorry, no surgery. I prefer to get a very nasty infection from a ruptured appendix that has the potential to KILL me because UHC won't cover this'. Yes I called the 866 number provided on my card and was told the same thing and that 'You have the right to appeal'. REALLY? Wow, thank you SO much, that makes me feel just super. We won't even go into the 2 times I have had to call to get them to pay my pain management Dr for services they said they would cover and had to get mean before they would. What a total crock of BS! You get offered UHC at work, STAY AWAY! Go with the other plan! Don't end up sorry for your choice like I am right now as I type.

I hate this company. I have had so many problems which amount to the fact that they stall, stall, stall. They just don't want to pay. I call every week and one person or another has done nothing to resolve my issues. Honestly, a great many of their representatives are just clueless and give ridiculous answers...idiots. I am not surprised by your situation. What a cheap, fraudulent company! Paying the doctor $85 and suggesting that it is reasonable, is a perfect example of fraud. How do they get away with this?! I think they train their reps to use these tactics.

I totally am in the same boat--we were out of town on a camping trip when my daughter came down with acute appendicitis. They have now denied it three times because we were "out of network, " even though the SPD says we are covered if it's an emergency. I have caught UHC in so many lies and deceptive business practices, it boggles my mind. Unfortunately, it looks like I will have to go to court to settle this. You are lucky your bills were under $10K, my daughters were $20K. I really hope you were able to get them to pay, eventually.

United HealthCare Services claims appeal

United Healthcare's website is out dated. The list of physicians is not at all updated. The patient ends up calling each phone number listed in the website only to find that "THE NUMBER IS NOT IN SERVICE"

And after hours if not days of trying you eventually find a doctor and get the treatment. Then comes the worst part. They reject the cliams and have you pay the entire amount. They have tons of reasons to reject your claim. Completely disorganized.

NEVER EVER GET ANY OF UNITED HEALTHCARE INSURANCE PLANS AGAIN!

I was sold a bill of goods when I signed up for United . I'm on their member sight found a chiropractor at first I did not know anything about referral for then I had my Dr refer me to this great chiropractor that was on their list. The list that was on my member site. I wrote and appeal letter and they still won't pay this is the short of it. United AARP are weasels absolutely no good come October I changing. So what they are saying is no matter who is on my member site that is in network I can't use them. What good is this BS company anyway if I can't use the doctors that are referred to me on my member list.

UnitedHealthcare has denied for a third time my daughter's emergency, life-saving surgery that was necessary while we were out of town. We were also out of network, but the surgery was necessary to save her life. We took her to the nearest hospital. UHC denies the multiple charges, saying we don't have coverage when out of network, except for emergencies. We had the surgeon write them a letter explaining the emergency nature (which is blatantly obvious from all the medical records). The expenses are catastrophic and life changing, and yet, we have heard today, it was denied AGAIN. The hospital is threatening to send us to collections. We will lose everything: savings, house, etc. We have caught UnitedHealthcare in a variety of lies and deceptive business practices. The plan is administered under ERISA, which means we have no power whatsoever (unlike normal insurance policies, which are governed by state law.)

United Healthcare has essentially ruined our lives. Thank goodness at least I have my daughter to hold; and she is alive. I know the pain of losing a child already.

Call your employers, it is ultimately their fiduciary responsibility to pay the claim. It only takes one call from them and UHC will jump to it. In an emergency situation, you may have what they call a gap exception, meaning you had no choice on the facility or provider as you were more than 50 miles from your home. Ask them to process the claim using your gap exception. Don't call them while you are upset, calmly ask for their assistance and use the verbiage provided (gap exception) and ask them to make sure that the claim is paid immediately. It is the fiduciary responsibility of the payor to process the claims in the best interest of the patient. If you lose your home that would not be int he best interest of the patient. if you should need additional information please google fiduciary responsibilities of the United Healthcare insurance

I have met my yearly deductable for medical coverage and I went into the doctors office to have some of the packing from the procedure removed. The Doctors office didn't charge for a visit because they view the procedure as part of the surjury. The Insurance company requires I pay for a doctors visit since the procedure was done in his office. This seems to be an abuse of the of insurance company. They should be required for paying for the whole procedure once my deductable has been met.

This is a disgrace and this is what is wrong with our country. In the United States unemploloyment is at its highest. The people of the US are what keep the insurance companies in business paying high insurance preiums and they farm the jobs to other countries so the CEO's can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars. When will the people of this country do something. Write to congress, write to the president, make a stand.

United HealthCare Services denial of coverage

I have a serious problem with my healthcare coverage. I do not think we are being handled properly. We discussed the matter with the healthcare insurance company’s 1-800 center today but accomplished nothing. My company switched to United Healthcare in April of this year.

My wife, has been experiencing severe pains in her shoulder. In April I paid ~ $ 600 (my out of pocket) for an MRI... as a result of the MRI, our physician says she needs surgery to fix the problem. My wife was scheduled to have surgery on June 17th. Today, my wife’s surgeon called and said that United Healthcare has denied our coverage. United claims the problem is a “pre-existing” condition and they will not authorize surgery for over a year.

Does this mean my wife has to go eleven more months of pain and discomfort ? for a condition that needs correcting... that is absurd?

My Medicare Advantage Insurance is supposed to provide vision coverage. I attended a meeting at the clinic (Sansum) around which the plan was organized. I was told that Sansum Clinic was the ONLY provider of vision coverage for the plan. When /i went to Sansum for a vision checkup, I was told after the visit that they would not accept my insurance and billed me for the entire amount. United Health Care told me "Tough luck, you aren't covered"

UHC changed my plan. When I went to get my Rx was told it wasn't on the plan now. Had to have doctor file an appeal., Which I did. Although talking to insurance companies is not the doctors job. He wrote the Rx that is what I should get. It shouldn't be the insurance companies decision to decide what medication a patient needs. I am so annoyed and frustrated. with United Health Care. I don't know what they expect a patient to do while they are deciding if I need the medication,

United Healthcare is denying my visit to an orthopedic for a shoulder injury.

- I had insurance with Blue Cross until Nov-2008.
- I took a new job and started coverage with United in Nov-2008.
- I injured my shoulder in Feb-2009 and visited the doctor in Mar-2009.
- I was told United denied my claim because it was a pre-existing condition.
- The doctor's office told me they did not tell the United that it was a pre-existing condition. It appears that United marked it as a pre-existing condition because of the type of injury it was - Rotator cuff.
- I supplied proof of my previous coverage to United.
- They have since sent my doctor a letter saying they are denying my coverage.

Any advice on my next steps would be appreciated. The bill is only a few hundred dollars but I want to fight this on principal.

I have been having headaches and neck and back pain and right arm numbness constantly for the past three months. I live in Oklahoma and have Choice Plus Network. I was referred to the neurologist by my PCP who had me do an MRI without contrast. The MRI showed I have either a Nerve Sheath Tumor or a Perineural Cyst on the nerve in my spinal cord in my neck and some bone marrow changes on my spine. It recommends follow up with and MRI with contrast, but insurance has denied it. My doctor appealed and it was denied again. I called and they said they never got any information. I called my doctor's office and she gave me the dates she sent the reports and who she talked to and the reference number. I called UHC back and after a long time on hold they finally told me it was denied because it didn't show I had been on pain medicine for at least 6 weeks and/or physical therapy, weakness or loss of function or plans for surgery. I have been taking over the counter pain medicine and most days I am having to lay down. The neurologist said there was a possibility it could be malignant. Now I am waiting to consult with a neurosurgeon who will then try to request the MRI again! I have two young children and take very good care of myself and my family and don't want to wait until it is worse!

My Father is in a skilled nursing home with a terminal disease. He has coverage under UHC through his pension plan which is suppose to cover this. He also has extended coverage with them. They have refused to pay! Each month it is a different excuse of additional paperwork they require. We have been paying out of pocket for the past 6 months. What can we do about this?

I was actually told I had to travel 125 miles to have an MRI for lower back--it was in the winter and over the mountain pass. After they sent me fro Bend to Eugene when the billing came in they tried to deny it. They will do anything possible to deny a claim so they don't have to pay for 4 to 6 months. They have never paid my chiropractor even as an out of network and they claim I have Medicare coverage which I only have hospital part A and they treat the doctors and clinics under the same guidelines.

1. You can appeal the decision. Everyone has a right to appeal. Get your doctor to write a letter to include in your appeal.

2. Visit this website to get info on how to write an effective appeal letter: http://www.advocacyforpatients.org

3. If you need help going to bat with your insurance company contact the people at that website - and they should help you free of charge.

4. Contact your state's insurance regulatory agency, which should be listed in your phone books' blue pages. Your doctor's office should know how to get in touch with them. Send them all the info you included in the appeal.

5. Contact your local Better Business Bureau office by letter explaining this situation. Include your appeal letter.

6. Contact your state's attorney general's office. Send them the appeal letter.

7. Important... because health care insurance reform is a hot federal issue right now, you should contact your federal representatives (senators/congressmen) and tell them about this. They are working on federal legislation right now, and hearing from people who've been screwed and defrauded by insurance companies who cheat people by denying claims for nebulous reasons will help them to better understand what we have to go through at the mercy of these greedy insurance companies.

This is fairly common... Insurance companies will use any lies or weak arguments to get out of paying claims. They'll lie and say a provider is no longer in their network... They'll say that something was pre-existing when it wasn't... They'll say a treatment, visit or procedure was not pre-authorized, when they didn't tell the provider of any such requirement when they called to verify coverage - or if pre-authorization was obtained, the insurer will lie and say it wasn't... and there is no limit to the other lies and inconsistencies they'll grasp for in an effort to screw policyholders over.

Please fight this. It may just be a few hundred dollars to you, but they're getting away with doing this to millions of people. If just 50% of policyholders give up and move on without taking action, just think of the money they're making, hand over fist, through BAD FAITH PRACTICES. This is ill-gotten gain; fraud.

Please pursue this with the agencies that I listed above and be sure to keep a copy of any correspondence you send, keep a copy of anything you receive - and document the dates/times of all phone conversations - along with the employee name. If you can, record the conversations. You'd be surprised how handy this can be! They'll tell you one thing during one call, and then tell you something totally different the next conversation! They'll lie and say that a certain conversation never took place.

It's a shame that we have to push for our rights, but the fact is - we do. They profit from people just giving up and not pursuing their right to appeal. You can continue appealing indefinitely; just keep copies of everything you send and don't rely on just phone conversations. Also, send everything either by U.S. Certified Mail Return Receipt or overnight mail so you'll have a signature confirmation of delivery.

Fight it! Don't give up!

United HealthCare Services unauthorized billing

On May 22, 2008 I was taken to Penrose Hospital [protected]) with a heart attack. I received a bill for $2.300, and another for $750.00, with no explanation of what the charges were for. Please send me a list of the charges you will not pay, so I can compare them to Humans, before November 15, 2008.

You should call the Customer Service and ask for a copy of the Evidence of Benefits (EOB) for each of these claims. It will explain what the billed amount was, what the insurance company paid, and what you're responsible for.

United HealthCare Services stay away

I have had endless problems with United Healthcare over the past year. They have dropped me from the plan and claimed computer problems. It took 3 months to fix that and get a new card with my name on it. They told my chiropractic office that I didn't have chiropractic coverage twice! I called and they confirmed that I did have coverage. I have filed claims that are still unpaid. Lastly, I just had surgery and they are only covering about half of the physical therapy sessions that are needed for recovery.

I'm not sure why they have the word "care" in their name because it is obvious that they do not give a dam.

They have dragged out approval of a drug I am on for weeks and weeks, only to FINALLY approve it, after over a month late. My new insurance company pre-approved the same drug such that all I have to do is answer the phone when the pharmacy is preparing to send it out. A WORLD of difference. Stay far away from United Healthcare!

Even though they deny claims and make claims a paperwork nightmare for physicians, they turn around and WASTE $55 million on quarterly statements.

Recently implemented, United so-called Healthcare sends out a quarterly statement identifying health benefit plan activity. With about 20, 000, 000 subscribers, 4 times a year, and let say the minimum postage was the same as mine (34.6¢) the postage cost alone is $27, 680, 000. The paper, the envelope and the processing have to cost about the same. We’re looking at $55 Million wasted—not to mention the trees—for something of little value which could be sent over the internet IF the individual wanted it. THIS DOES NOT LOWER HEALTHCARE COSTS. Reminds me of their former CEO’s $124, 800, 000 one-year salary and $1.6 BILLION in stock options over 8 yrs.

To add to the waste on these statements, even if the subscriber is the only member, they list the member every time. For any Type if Service that’s Pharmacy the Provider is always “suppressed for member’s privacy.” The amount of unused space is amazing, the statements could be reorganized to take up much less paper. I complained and ask to opt out and the rep said I couldn’t. I asked to speak to a supervisor. The rep said that her supervisor would tell me the same thing. The supervisor said they were wrong—that I could opt out. He took care of it.

I’m sick of having to opt out of everything. UHC — do it right. Get rid of the waste and ask people if they want to opt in and if they want it electronically. And not where you have to sign in and verify who you are. Send it directly to the subscriber’s e-mail address as a PDF. If you cared about costs, you could send me a postcard ONE TIME offering me options and whether I even want the statement (which I don’t).

I was told by my rep to direct my complaints to UHC at 9900 Brenstreet Rd, Minnetonka, MN 55343. From what I have been able to ascertain the correct address to UHC would be 9900 Bren Rd E Ste 300W, Hopkins MN 55343, phone [protected].

I directed my letter after I initially posted this to Midwest CEO Kathryn Sullivan at UHC at that address. We’ll see what happens.

You want to call Ms. Sullivan, too? Call the same number and ask for Veronica Sanders, her assistant.

UHC is absolutely the worst "insurance" company I have ever dealt with!

They refuse to pay anything - they apply everything to a never-ending deductible and then they start pegging everything as a pre-existing claim.

They send out form after form, yet never seem to process the forms - they accuse doctors of lying and always say that the whole issue will be resolved in "24-48 hours."

They steal your payroll deductions and, in the end, you pay for everything 100% out of pocket!

Supposedly, someone is supposed to be monitoring them until 2010 because of issues such as these for the past FOUR years - where is the monitoring?

You are better off having NO insurance than paying UHC for pretend insurance!

They are AWFUL!

I have five more months before I can switch carriers - five months too long and thousands of dollars later I hope to be away from this nonsense!

United HealthCare Services incompetents

Both of these companys are in cahoots big time. You see all the complaints and still not a *** thing is being done about it. You know why? Because the less they help you the more it saves United Healthcare and more profit for Medco. Think about it. When is the last time you called Medco when anything was really ever resolved. I bet almost never. They'll charge you 3 times the price on your credit card for a 90 day supply and then tell you because of some regulation that they can only send a 30 day supply but the bill stays the same.? I just got started with Medco because of the changeover to them at United Healthcare. They sent me all kinds of lancets to *** your fingers with (8 boxes so far) but no needles for my Levemir Flexpens (insulin injectors). I called to tell them this and they said they were sent and you know what, they weren't. So I get another prescription and send it in they tell me they can't send it out because the others that I didn't get preclude me from receiving them because my due date to get new ones isn't for another 2 months. I guess all I do now is die because I couldn't take my medications. You know what? Medco could care less. I see no resolution with this whatsoever because Medco has been contacted 2 times and they refuse to take responsibility for what they've done and I'm not about to waste my time any more with INCOMPETENTS!

Medco is "operated" by United Healthcare which also operates Prescription Solutions. United pipelines business to Medco while receiving a fee for services. The "operational separation" provides United immunity from decisions that Medco makes. Medco was owned by Merck until spun off as a close but independent IPO (Wells Fargo managed the transistion) where both companies could grow and prosper via their own strategies. It was either that or the kitchen was gonna burn down for all the greed and oil.

I do not know about being in cahoots but I am absolutely pissed. I have had United Healthcare for the last several years. I currently have united healthcare through resources at my wife's company (this started 1/3/11). The previous policy overlapped 2 months. I have been on several medication for quite sometime. One medication is androgel. Now I am out and waiting till they decide to preauthorize the medication.

Why am I so irritated about this?
1) I am tired of seeing and hearing about red tape, government intervention into medicine (Canadian government ordering infant off life support as an example), and non medical or at least non practicing company teams/units who second guess certified medical professional's lawfully written prescriptions, delay the lawful dispensing of medicine, and often 'cause' a longer duration of afflictions and their effects.

2) Aspects of low serum testosterone levels which I get to play around with
Behavioral: Decreased assertiveness/increased submissiveness; Decreased stress tolerance; Irritability; Depression or lowered mood; Anxiety;
Metabolic: Mild anemia; Headaches; Reduced muscle volume and strength; Reduced general vigor and hardiness

I just got off the phone after spending nearly 5 hours on the phone with these Medco clowns, they are the absolute most inept pharmacy in America. The problem is, nobody in their organization has clue that they are talking about, they constantly give you the wrong answer and when I ask to talk to a supervisor, they get upset and say they will tell me the same thing. Well I talk to a supervisor and I get an answer that is 180 degrees than what the subordinate told me. There folks can't read the computer screens, they are constantly looking and giving different answers. I don't think this is the intentional, but more so poorly managed from the top down. If anyone has a problem with these folks, please go straight to yoru State's Department of Insurance and file a complaint. Many states have this online, they do here in California and it took me about 10 minutes at the most to complete and submit the form. This is this will have impact on this lazy executive who not only do a disservice to United Healthcare clients, but they are flippinig of their own stockholders as well.

United healthcare delays aprovals for Cashless hospitalisation, and force the employee (policy holder) to make the payment. This payment will be 3 times the actual payment on hospital expenses. Once paid, they suddenly come up with an aproval with much lower amount than estimated by the physician.

Medication needed to stay alive is now only available at an exclusively Gay-male segregated pharmacy. The same pricing through the mail pharmacy exists but is now determined to be both experimental and difficult to administer! The medication which is not experimental but FDA approved for more than 5 years; is now only available by this isolated pharmacy charging the same prices!
