Biggest health insurer plans to deny ER bills if it doubts you had an emergency

UnitedHealthcare delayed the policy's rollout, but experts worry about chilling effect.

quote:

Doctors and hospitals are condemning plans by UnitedHealthcare—the country’s largest health insurance company—to retroactively deny emergency medical care coverage to members if UHC decides the reason for the emergency medical care wasn’t actually an emergency.

In the future, if one of UHC's 70 million members submits a claim for an emergency department visit, UHC will carefully review what health problems led to the visit, the “intensity of diagnostic services performed” at the emergency department (ED), and some context for the visit, like the member’s underlying health conditions and outside circumstances. If UHC decides the medical situation didn’t constitute an emergency, it will provide “no coverage or limited coverage,” depending on the member’s specific insurance plan.

Emergency medical doctors and hospitals were quick to rebuke the plan. They say it sets a dangerous precedent of requiring patients to assess their own medical problems before seeking emergency care, which could end up delaying or preventing critical and even lifesaving treatment.

The policy was initially set to take effect July 1. But in an email to Ars Thursday, UHC now says it is delaying the rollout amid the criticism—at least until the end of the pandemic.

“Based on feedback from our provider partners and discussions with medical societies, we have decided to delay the implementation of our emergency department policy until at least the end of the national public health emergency period,” a UHC representative told Ars in an email. “We will use this time to continue to educate consumers, customers, and providers on the new policy and help ensure that people visit an appropriate site of service for non-emergency care needs.”

quote:

quote:

Unnecessary use of the emergency room costs nearly $32 billion annually, driving up healthcare costs for everyone. We are taking steps to make care more affordable, encouraging people who do not have a healthcare emergency to seek treatment in a more appropriate setting, such as an urgent care center.

When I had appendicitis I went to urgent care first and they were like "what the gently caress are you doing here you need to go to a hospital right now" and then I did and had an emergency appendectomy

I got billed for the urgent care telling me to go to an ER

Lol ED doctors would be absolutely demolished by retroactive denial of reimbursement for poo poo that isn't an emergency. They already can't do a clinical assessment until at least 2 cts, and mri, and an ultrasound have been done.

Ryan Grim is OK and he's right here but there really is nothing worse than a TV show where they sit you down next to some peabrain chud to give "both sides". Rising and The Hill are bad even if right things are said on it from time to time.

Hell I went to a military academy for high school and even we were taught that it was a group effort but the USSR basically defeated the nazis. The explanation given was that the US entering the war forced Nazi Germany to split their attention to two fronts, which weakened the Nazis enough for the Soviets to come steamroll through.

In hindsight, I really should have appreciated my high school US history teacher more because he said stuff like how it was very likely that Reagan was responsible for the hostages in the Iran Hostage Crisis being released shortly after he was sworn in instead of sometime before the election.

it's quite impressive, ngl

i had a rather good public school education when it came to history, and specifically american history, like i had an elective that was just about the vietnam war and my high school US history class used a people's history of the united states as the main textbook.

i've only recently been able to wrap my head around how the transfer of empire between england and america happened, like the actual details of what that means and the mechanisms on how it happened
