Just got a letter from United Healthcare denying to pay for routine annual blood tests for a routine annual physical with my doctor. I’ll be changing insurance providers this enrollment period.

I have Cigna HealthSpring as my Medicare Supplemental Insurance and have rarely had anything denied. Only last minute procedures for my back and "trial" treatments for chronic migraines. Not saying everything about them is perfect but.... it's not UHC.
If all else fails, go to the city desk of your local paper.
They want human interest stories and inhumane behavior by private "insurers" is a hot topic.
I was with Humana but they are not playing nice with the hospital all of my doctors USE. Had to go with UHC. Not happy about it, but . . . . . NO FUCKING CHOICE. What with my health issues.
That’s…. illegal under ACA. They are not following the laws. They are supposed to pay for eight home Covid tests a year too and many are denying this unless you appeal it 47 times….i also read UHC is using AI to process claims and the AI is really screwing up—could that be what happened 2 you?
I've seen posts that companies are dodging the direct question of if they will cover well-baby/wellness check-ups, and they are instead directing people to government sites that define what a wellness check is. Speculation is to be able to refuse them once the felon is in office.
Do they have a page on here? I DM’d United Healthcare on X (before the CEO was murdered) to discuss an issue with my mom’s supplemental plan (I am personal rep for her estate). Regular customer service was not very helpful, but their social media customer service has been excellent
I have to move to UHC with my new employer after the new year after almost 20 years of BCBS. I'm scared to death that they're going to fight my finally stable prescription balance. My heart, head, and hormones deserve peace.

When the insitutions fail, getting justice becomes the People's job.
Some plans would only cover basic bloodwork
my insurance pays routine blood tests..but it's like 2$ a test is all they will pay. insane.
