Back in early October I had tooth pain
Back in early October I had tooth pain. Went to the dentist and he told me I needed the truth either extracted or a crown. I told him I had a $2,000 limit on my dental plan with United healthcare. So he went to the office and called United healthcare and they said they would cover the crown. When he was in the office I called United healthcare dental and they told me they would cover the crown. The following Monday I went for the molds and the prep work for a crown and after they did all the work the billing person said United healthcare is denying my claim saying I have another dental plan. I had to call United healthcare again to tell them that that was a cobra plan and had expired in March of 2021. So again I asked if I was covered. They told me yes. United healthcare gave me a Thanksgiving present. I got a letter from them denying my claim. I've spent about 20 hours on the phone with my personal representative at United healthcare and with the dental plan people and I got a different story from every single person. They tell me that they can't accept an electronic transmission of the x-rays to them. They a hard copy sent by US mail. So I called the dentist office and they printed out from the digital X-ray and sent the form in. Then they claimed that they didn't accept Xerox copies of x-rays. And this thing with the x-rays has changed back and forth depending on who I talk to there they're doing the runaround from the beginning they don't want to pay a penny. That has been their intent since the beginning. Well I'm switching companies for my Medicare advantage because they really are terrible and I don't trust them. You don't know who to believe there. Play United healthcare soccer continues my personal navigator Melissa at United healthcare called back to say that all they're waiting for is The narrative of my dentist. Well my dentist is sent to the narrative twice by United States postal service and on their electronic filing. The supervisor at the dental part told me yesterday that they had received it. They have denied my claim for times in the last 10 days. So you don't know who to believe at United healthcare. After days and days of trying to get this resolved they finally paid the claim. Now in the new year I need a root canal and another crown and they're denying it saying that I used up my benefits. Well according to my plan I'm supposed to get $2,000 on January 1st. On January 7th I had to go in for emergency root canal and going back on the 18th for the crown. When all my medical issues are done I am switching companies because this company does not care about its members Now dental says root canal is not covered. Also only one crow every five years. Well friend had root canal last month. Same plan and they paid. People at this company lie and cheat. They do anything not to pay Talk tonight insurance broker and she says she gets lots of complaints about United healthcare dental program and she told me I should switch to Aetna or to anthem Talk to 5 different people get five different answers. That doesn't know what they are doing As of January 13th my dental office called them and said they were covered both the crown and the root canal. So who's telling the truth. I don't think United healthcare knows what the truth is Today I get a letter saying they're going to cover the new crown. Well their customer service people were wrong they told me I would only get one crown every 5 years so who knows what to believe. The dental office also called them to tell them that they would cover both the crown and the root canal. I'll believe it when I see it I'll be fighting this until the day I die I went to get my hearing test today and they ordered a new hearing aid and we were going to see what kind of problems I want to have with a hearing department. 2 years ago I had problem after problem with the people that they had handling the hearing. If you can don't sign up for United healthcare cuz their customer service stinks
