United health has refused to pay me for routine visits of one of their insured for almost a full year AFTER having paid for reasonable and proper treatments for the previous several years for the same problems. They want me to submit unreasonable justification for every detail of each visit amounting to nearly 15 pages of material for each visit. Then their lackies at Ingenix tear everything up and no pay is forthcoming. No wonder their CEO could have gotten an extra 600 million

I believe that all the CEO’s of all the Insurance Co are crooks. They want to take home billions of dollars that rightfully belongs to the providers. I think that our lobby is not very powerful. We all providers should get together and demand that they give us our fair share.

When Anthem of Kentucky (WELLPOINT), charges routine drawing of blood as SURGERY, making the payer put it on a highly deductable Major Medical and WELLPOINT pays nothing, tells the patient how much he saved on routine medical visits while WELLPOINT again, pays nothing but the patient payes a considerable sum, WELLPOINT and its fellow partners are forcing people to go to the Government for help. Of course, any one who hasn’t had a brain injury is well aware that the Government has NEVER IMPROVED ANY SITUATION, JUST MADE IT MUCH WORSE, SHOULD REALIZE THAT IT WILL BE THE BIG INSURANCE COMPANIES that will participate in the drafting and SHARING in SOCIALIZED MEDICINE.
