One more reason why UnitedHealth is the most physician-hostile insurer:
The doctors originally sued all four large insurers in our area, saying they price-fixed the fees at such a low rate, some doctors were leaving town.Three of the companies, Aetna, Humana and Anthem, settled the case, agreeing to pay doctors more by hundreds of millions of dollars.
United Healthcare decided to fight. It argued that the doctors shouldn’t be allowed to sue, but instead be forced into arbitration.
Well, the Ohio Supreme Court rejected that argument in March.
And now the US Supreme Court has decided it will not hear the case, that it belongs back at the trial court level.
