United Healthcare is denying my visit to an orthopedic for a shoulder injury.
- I had insurance with Blue Cross until Nov.
- I took a new job and started coverage with United in Nov.
- I injured my shoulder in Feb and visited the doctor in Mar.
- I was told United denied my claim because it was a pre-existing condition.
- The doctor's office told me they did not tell the United that it was a pre-existing condition. It appears that United marked it as a pre-existing condition because of the type of injury it was - Rotator cuff.
- I supplied proof of my previous coverage to United.
- They have since sent my doctor a letter saying they are denying my coverage.
Any advice on my next steps would be appreciated. The bill is only a few hundred dollars but I want to fight this on principal.
