There's a rumor that a lot of pharmacies saw a huge drop in denials for medication today. So when usually 50% or so will get denied by the insurance pretty much none got denied this morning. Such a weird coincidence. It's also odd that all these medications that would normally get denied requiring patients to put up a fight suddenly were found to be covered by their policy. It's almost like they all should have been covered in the first place and they're hoping people won't have the energy to put up a fight. But instead of that rigmarole they just went ahead and let them all go through. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. The way it should be.
If we assume this trend is true and was carried over into other areas of insurance coverage then there's a good chance someone wasn't denied their chemotherapy today. Actually more than one person. So the actions of the people's claims adjuster has saved more lives then he's alleged to have taken. And considering he's taken zero lives from my point of view as a hypothetical juror then he's done nothing but have a net gain for society

I hadn't heard about this, thank you. Last week UHC sent me and several of my coworkers letters telling us that they weren't going to cover out meds, I'll have to call them Monday and put up a fight then let my coworkers know to do the same.
Also time to start a petition to tell corporate to get us off UHC.
