And daily I hear citizens complain about doctors’ compensation. I quickly redirect my patients to look at insurance giants and hospitals. The 2 big winners in our troubled healthcare system.
I am a nurse case manager at my local hospital. I work to get people placed in rehab after hospitalization. When we have a patient with UHC Medicare, we cringe. None of the rehabs in our area will contract with UHC because of poor payment or non-payment, even after they've preauthorized the rehab stay. Many UHC patients sit in the hospital because they have nowhere to go and they are too sick to go home. Our hospital system has even made an entire nursing unit dedicated to these patients who are in limbo.
When I talk to Medicare patients with UHC, I've found they've been heavily marketed to buy this insurance. UHC reps will visit nursing homes to market the elderly into buying their Advantage plan. By the time they get to the hospital, they've already had terrible experiences with UHC. I am the one who has to break the news that they can't get the ongoing healthcare they need because of UHC's poor network system, their denials for preauthorization for needed healthcare, or their poor payment, which has burned providers too many times and the refusal to take any more patients with UHC.
Last year, our hospital system lost millions of dollars because of privatized Medicare Advantage insurance and its tactics. In my state of Oregon, an entire Eugene clinic had to sell (to UHC) because it went under.
This is an epidemic, and I am on the front lines, dealing with insurance denials and seeing the carnage of patients who don't get the treatment they need and deserve.
They hacked themselves so they could withhold payment and make 2 billion more dollars. Stop encouraging and enabling them. Don’t accept them and don’t buy their insurance.
