UHC New referral process is burdensome
My original UHC plan was cancelled in 2025 statewide. It has been replaced with a plan with higher copays and referrals for my longstanding specialist treating me for 2 different cancers, my cataract surgeon, and my pain management specialist for spinal stenosis. Just spent 45 minutes with NE Medical Group reps getting referrals set up for these specialist. This new process is onerous. It is ongoing treatment for pre-existing conditions. It only benefits a greedy insurance company hoping an aging population will forget to get the referral within the 6 month window. More hoops to jump through to benefit the insurer.
