Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

When I had United Healthcare my doctor would often perform multiple routine services when I saw him. UHC denied every single claim, saying services performed weren't the purpose of the original appointment. They wouldn't just deny the claim for those services, they denied the claim for the entire visit and it happened almost every time I saw my doctor.
United Healthcare obviously didn't want me to make multiple visits for the same services because that would have cost much more. The crooks running the company were instead pocketing huge unearned profits because they knew few people would appeal their constant denials. Health Net served up other flavors of the same shit.
These companies need to be put out of business permanently.
They have learned over time how people behave and they weaponized it against the working people.
Who fucking time to shuffle paper like that when you got a full time job and/or severely sick.
They use same tactics in other industries too.
