FYI......
My girlfriend works for a residential mental health facility in Minneapolis.....The facility will not accept any clients covered under UHC......
My sister does medical billing in Alaska and a similar situation exists.....
It's really funny, their order of insurance crappiness is;
1) Signa/Aetna
2) UHC
If they do approve the procedure, record the phone conversation and get the specifics in writing. These are mandatory steps for UHC.
