United Health Care
|
United Health Care I have United Health Care. I pay $400. a month. About 11 weeks ago, I was sent to a pain control doctor, who thinks I have a ruptured disc. UHC says it's my responsiblity to pay a $2500. deductible toward the MRI, the hospital charges $2700. I am unable to walk now, and the doctore suggested I go to the ER for a shot, presumably cortisone, I called for prior authorization. The nurse said she can only advise, not authorize treatment. I asked who could. She told me that I had to call during regular business hours for authorization. She did recommend to go to the ER, my copay is $200. and if they don't authorize, which is likely, based on the other complaints I've heard, it could cost $1000.'s. So I still can't walk.
