My UHC denial experience

Shout out to United Health Care for attempting to fully deny my 4 week long stay in the hospital after I broke 2 hips, my foot, ankle and both wrists in a car accident 5 years ago, after their “expert doctors” supposedly looked at my case and determined that after 24 hours, I simply didn’t “need to be there anymore”. I couldn’t even fucking move a muscle from the waist down and was temporarily paralyzed for like the first 2 weeks. We went back and forth for months over a $40k bill (this was the balance left over from what my auto insurance paid), that they eventually just stopped pursuing. This was all happening while I was trying to heal from multiple injuries.

I can’t imagine what other people have gone through with them in similar, or much worse situations. Fully believe that most insurance companies are a well-oiled scam and the people that run these companies deserve to spend a lifetime behind bars.
