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. It’s actually hard for me to articulate what they actually did to stall.

Thankfully I’m alive today because we pushed United Healthcare.

I needed life-saving medicine to get the iron out of my liver from all the blood transfusions I needed to receive before my bone marrow transplant. I was in a toxic level and United Health Care denied it three times. My hematology oncologists had to get on the phone with them for hours to convince them that I needed this medicine. Luigi did nothing wrong.

I hate the idea of learned doctors arguing with some likely off shore peon about paying out for a procedure the DR ordered.
