I find this reply objectionable and was most probably written in anger. We have been with United Health Care since the very beginning when it was started through AARP. We "bit the bullet" and paid for the "J" plan (which I am told is no longer available). We have NEVER, ever had a problem with them paying our medical bills, and we have never ever had a problem with Medicare paying their full share.
My husband has had cancer and extensive treatment for it; and I have been treated by Mayo for a major kidney problem. Mayo do not accept Medicare guidelines for payment, but even with this United Health Care paid for all but $72 over a two year treatment period.
Consider yourself lucky that United have picked up PCP, you'll be a lot better off in the long run. Every doctor and hospital in the land takes United, and there is never a question regarding bills and never a copay. Although this may only apply to the "J" plan, and may be very different with other plans.
