"I had to scrub out mid-surgery to call United, only to find that the person on the line didn't even have access to the patient's full medical information, despite the procedure already being pre-approved. It's beyond frustrating and, frankly, unacceptable. Patients and providers deserve better than this. We should be focused on care, not bureaucracy."

@bicmay
just a note to agree and sympathize, AND to remind all of us, that it ain't JUST UHC! It's all of the healthcare gatekeeper oligopoly, it's the state medicaid/medicare offices, it's the bottom feeders selling add-ons like HSA investments. There's an industry dedicated to making billions off of our Health Care! This is SO wrong, it's a sin.
*If there's a company, state, private ambulance co, etc. who are exceptions to this rule, I apologize -- but I don't think I'll owe any apologies!
