UHC Dumping Medicare Advantage Docs

Quote


















Who cares what the WSJ reports? The reality is that UHC is the worst of all insurers! All providers know it: the hospitals, the labs, and the doctors. UHC premiums are the cheapest for a reason; they provide inferior benefits for insureds and the worst reimbursements for providers, including LCA.

The physicians have finally said, enough!
 






UHC is using the McKesson database of claims to terminate providers with a higher spend than those other providers in a defined area.

They are no longer allowed to terminate members invader the AcA, so they terminate the doctor so the patient goes to a dr who doesn't see or spend any money.

You've obviously never spoken to your clients about reimbursement. UHC is NOT the worst - actually they are about middle of the road. You ever seen reimbursement from BCBS?
 






Sorry but BC/BS is state-specific. Not all BC/BS plans provide the same reimbursements. On a national basis, UHC is the worst. Ask any healthcare service provider who has UHC as their own insurer (doctors, nurses, lab workers, ancillary healthcare personnel) They hate the benefits, but love the low premiums.

Hope that helps.

Someone else who thinks they know it all....and only know what's happening in their little corner of the universe. As is typical, you make global statements with a limited knowledge base. Your myoptic viewpoint says nothing about the bigger picture. Perhaps in your territory (MS, LA), BC/BS is the worst. Everything there is bad. The previous poster is correct. UHC is the worst.

Well, first of all, as is NOT "typical", because I do NOT typically post here. Also, I do have the knowledge base, having worked with various national providers. Also, my territory is now several Midwestern states. So, taking into consideration those states, plus the two that you just named (MS, LA), my viewpoint doesn't seem quite so "myoptic". Great thesaurus find, though.

A contiguous territory that includes MS and AL sounds like the south to me, not the Midwest. As previously stated, UHC sucks and if you cover MS, and LA I'm sorry.

Poster did not say they covered MS and AL. They said they covered Midwestern states. Those states PLUS the southern states that were mentioned. Anyway...just clarifying that I believe you misread.
 






What territory is or is not covered is irrelevant. On a national basis, UHC is the worst insurer of all. They're premiums are low because they provide poor, if not limited, benefits for their insureds.

For those of you claiming UHC is the worst, do your research before telling someone else they are wrong or near-sighted in their viewpoints. There are yearly rankings put out by consumer reports and listed state by state. MC folks and your providers take these reports very seriously. UHC consistently scores in the 70/80 range, whereas BCBS is almost always in the 60's. Again, these are nationwide rankings. Reimbursement is one of many criteria.
