UnitedHealthcare to cut prior authorization for 30% of services. Here's what to know.

3. Probably...

That they deny payment after-the-fact, leaving you stuck with the full bill.

UHC is one of the WORST insurance companies that hospitals have to deal with. Due to UHC’s intransigence, and insistence on cutting reimbursements, their contract with my hospital lapsed as of 30, April. There’s a staggered loss of coverage, with the final group’s in network coverage ending in January, ‘27…assuming no new agreement is made. Medicare Advantage and UHC Medicaid patients are going to get hurt, bigly.

These assholes are cutthroat and have no problem leaving their customers hanging. These people (other UHC execs, rich assholes, Repukes, etc.,) wonder why there was no sympathy for the exec who was gunned down in NYC. An exec who, by they way, was in charge of an AI development that would be looking for excuses to deny claims.

Note: My hospital is the only major medical/academic medical center in Eastern. NC, and through subsidiary hospitals, provides healthcare to 29 counties and over 1 million people.
