United Healthcare

Several states all over the country have been filing class action lawsuits against the insurance giant United HealthCare. The general public continues to believe that physicians in this country are all millionaires and are just in the practice of medicine to make lots of money. In this day and age nothing is farther from the truth except for perhaps the elective plastic surgeons who work on the boobs and botox end of the spectrum. The reason the plastics practice can thrive is because most of there work is not covered by insurance so they can actually collect what they charge for their services and make a living. Physicians these days are pretty much under the control of insurance companies who are in charge of what they make. The ones that are making million and billion dollars worth of money each year are not the physicians who are out there on a day in and day out basis but the insurance companies that control every aspect of healthcare. United Healthcare is on of the worse in this writers opinion. They pay their physicians at a less then adequate fee schedule and reimbursement at some procedures is less than the medicare and medicaid fee schedules. United Healthcare also employs such a hiarchy of complicated measures to actually get a claim paid correctly that some physician offices waste more time and money on trying to get paid then the actual claim itself cost. This is no doubt a direct tactic for this insurance company to pocket even more money. Physicians have lost all control over there financial situation when it comes to dealing with United Healthcare. This company is completely out of control on their deceptive trade practices with physician and hospital entities. They continue to pay physicians at lower than contracted rates and then they only fix the problem if a class action suit is brought against them. They are the most unreputable insurance company out there in my meager opinion. They use unfair tactics and there profit margin is beyond imagination. UHC is growing at a rapid rate and it is up to the public and physicians to stop them from there unfair and deceptive practices. I have yet to find any physicians that I have spoken with that are happy with this company. It sure does make Canada and universal healthcare seem like the only way to actually get control out of the hands of these profiteering insurance companies and back in the hands of the American public and the physicians who take on the daily tasks of caring for these individuals regardless of the levels of reimbursment that they are being paid.
