Insurance Denied My Surgery?!

let me guess... United Healthcare?

United sucks! My husband has it and it never pays so he will be charging at open enrollment

United Healthcare has paid for everything I needed and I pay them very well. Depends on what policy you have and can pay for.

United health tends to get a D 20 dice and roll to see if you pass go or not for coverage. it's their ai program they have now.

You can appeal. Carefully read the denial letter from the insurance company. Identify the reason given for the denial. (e.g. not medically necessary, out of network, prior authorization not obtained). You can file an internal appeal with your insurance company. This is a formal request for the plan to review and reverse its decision. Include a letter requesting an appeal, a doctor’s letter of support explaining why the surgery was medically necessary, and a copy of the denial notice. Send it to the address listed on the denial letter. The deadline is usually 180 days from the date on the denial letter. If the internal appeal is denied, you can request an independent external review. The external reviewer is a third party and can overturn the insurer’s decision. You can find instructions for this process in the appeal denial letter. If your surgery was denied after the fact, don’t give up. Understanding your rights and filing a timely appeal can make all the difference.

What is a SURGERY? And I agree. It’s probably of United healthcare

Appeal and also get the doctor to check the coding of the procedure

yes they did this to me to, my biopsy surgery for possible breast cancer, which it was stage 2 triple positive, after the biopsy was done, plus they denied the port surgery, the port I s needed for chemo, then they denied the chemo, stating it was all unnecessary, yes it was united health care also, I am paying for the 2 surgeries, but found another insurance that would cover chemo, it was difficult and pricey, but you have no other choices when you are dealing with life and death.

Insurance companies can suck a dick! We all pay our premiums for insurance n we don’t get close to what we put in…
