Pretty sure the shooter would not have been on a Medicare Advantage plan since he's only in his 20's.

I agree that he was not on Advantage.

I posted it because UHC Advantage is very popular in the Villages and I thought people should be aware of UHC’s track record.

As someone who's been a patient with health insurance for the past 63 years, I can't remember the last time my health insurance denied a claim made by me or my doctor on my behalf for treatment. Does that mean everyone who claims they were denied is lying? If so, then wouldn't that also imply that your claim that you've ever had a claim denied in 40 years is also a lie?

OR - more realistic - personal anecdotes mean bubkes. Your uhc group may only take people that you know will have their issues approved in advance. Pre-approvals, coordination between specialists and pcps - continuity of care, end all that sort of thing, can make it such that the odds of success is high when everything is communicating with each other.

All this talk about denial of claims and the shooter was not a client of UHC. He is psychotic.
Brought on by drug use.

"My UHC Group?

I have no idea what that means...

We've accepted ALL UHC patients for decades...

And you're up to date on every claim you've made for the last 63 years?

How old are you again?

They have upgraded the charges. He is being charged with first degree murder.
