Not disagreeing, and I am guilty as well in this case. However, time wasted, and patient time wasting for sloppy work for a patient and a customer who probably wasn't the first UHC dental customer is a sign of UHCs very low reimbursement rates. . . They did start a contract renewal negotiation with coachk's hospital at less than medicare reimbursement rates. I will be interested to see the final outcome, and will concede my confirmation bias as well. .
