Mar Hicks @histoftech.bsky.social · 18/07/2025A U.S. surgeon trying to have a “peer to peer” consultation with a doctor at a health insurance company who is hiding his identity as her patient gets denied coverage. And it gets worse from there. You have to see it to believe it. (1/2) 23958042474
VirginiaLeftist @blueground.bsky.social · 18/07/2025this is utterly terrifying more than any other news IMO 000
Iain Lancaster @thestupidithurts.bsky.social · 18/07/2025It’s fucking unconscionable that doctors have to beg insurance companies to fund necessary surgery. The healthcare system in your country is fucking barbaric! 180
Mar Hicks @histoftech.bsky.social · 18/07/2025Her name is Dr. Elizabeth Potter, a microsurgeon who specializes in complex breast cancer surgery. And this insurance company is now trying to destroy her reputation & bankrupt her surgery center since she spoke out about their practices. I’m sure you’ll never guess which health insurance company. 343069632

Shadow D. Wolf 🏳️🌈🐺 @shadowdwolf.bsky.social · 18/07/2025The best way to appeal a denial is to show that the person who issued the denial either wasn't a doctor at all, or wasn't qualified to make that determination. At least, that used to be the case. This level of obfuscation is just outrageous. 020
Nose Coloured Glasses @ncglasses.bsky.social · 19/07/2025This makes my stomach turn. Absolutely deplorable cowardly behaviour from both United and their 'expert'. 000

Ysolde Nichols @ysolde.bsky.social · 19/07/2025If there were no insurance companies, you could just provide the treatment that people need. Seems to me that their primary task is to deny claims and make huge profits. It’s hardly medical care. 010
Erminatrix @ermineator.bsky.social · 19/07/2025What the hell? I worked in the NHS, as did most of my immediate family in one form or another, and anybody who behaved as unhelpfully as that would be in ENORMOUS trouble! 120

Mister Misanthrope @mistermisanthrope.bsky.social · 18/07/2025Healthcare in the United States is criminal. Healthcare IS A human right. For profit healthcare must be destroyed and universal healthcare must be what Democrats run on. The Democratic Party better get on board and be willing to fight to make this a reality or get the hell out of the way. 140
I Am the White Rose @sirbobofambler.bsky.social · 21/09/2025Talking about strange bedfellows. When the insurance industry decided that it would micro manage the medical profession it was a slippery slope. Profit margins took priority over patients health. 000

Accountabilabuddy🔻 @accountabilabuddy.bsky.social · 18/07/2025If the person she's talking to doesn't have authorization to approve anything... why are they calling her? United would rather spend *more* to treat preventable lymphedema than pay for a surgery to prevent lymphedema, and we're supposed to believe that's somehow in the shareholders' interest? 010
Houthi Beach Volleyball League (official) @owlbear-camus.bsky.social · 18/07/2025Masked secret police and anonymous private death panels. This is America. She should be able to focus her energy on helping patients, not arguing with the disgraced doctors. Doctors so deeply ashamed to be reduced to rubber stamping death warrant insurance denials that they won't give their name. 0150
Ryan Paige @ryanpaige.bsky.social · 18/07/2025Insurance companies are often so short-sighted when it comes to this sort of thing, too, since it frequently ends up that the doctor is right and the patient ends up needing even-more-costly care than they would have had the initial preventative step been approved. 010
Pikacha Twentyfive @pikacha.bsky.social · 19/07/2025Oh my god the absolutely *angelic* patience she’s displaying. I am *fuming* just from experiencing this merely second-hand! 030
Caffeinated she/her @moyaklefey.bsky.social · 18/07/2025As someone who has lymphedema, it is *Very* vital information! If you can knock the risk from 40 down to 10 percent….that’s incredible!! And it makes me wonder if the person on the other end of the call was just Admin and is non-practicing. Definitely not her peer. 1160
lauraleigh16.bsky.social @lauraleigh16.bsky.social · 18/07/2025I want to know how she even got through to United healthcare. I’m a licensed professional counselor and I can’t find anyway to talk to a live person. I’ve been trying to get paid on three sessions since May. They’ve denied it twice and two other times, they said they didn’t get the claim. 1120

amy en–dash 🇺🇦 @amynala.bsky.social · 18/07/2025People complain about short appointments and long waits to see a specialist. Those problems are direct results of doctors having to waste time on this nonsense instead of seeing patients. All for shareholder value. 050
