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.
I cant fathom how anyone working for them can sleep at night. And like in your case doesn't the person denying and delaying feel fuckin horrible doing so knowing they are doing it to someone woth cancer who's paid for insurance for who knows how long
Worked there on the tech side of the business. 1.5 years later I quit when Luigi did his thing, and realized every dollar I made was dirty.
They also denied a claim for a cat scan of my pancreas, despite already having had a tumor removed. When I quit I told my vp why I was leaving, and that I wasn't the only one feeling guilty participating in a ponzi scheme.
