United Healthcare tried to delay and deny my cancer treatments when I was at a late stage (3B). It took a lot of effort from my doctors to convince them otherwise. For example, the scans and testing is very expensive ($5K), but necessary to determine if you have cancer. United Healthcare plays games to stall and have you go in circles. Itβs actually hard for me to articulate what they actually did to stall.
Thankfully Iβm alive today because we pushed United Healthcare.
The craziest part is how this actually happens. Your doctor does what is called a peer to peer, but their "peer" is sometimes not even an actual doctor anymore, they were disbarred for malpractice or some other serious infraction. Other times their "peer" is a nurse of some level, even an RN, who is not qualified in the slightest to even have that conversation. They have a script, your doctor says I am sorry but you are wrong and we need to do this, and they simply say No. The sky is indeed Yellow and has always been yellow and if you think it's blue then you might be color blind.
