The Wall Street Journal continues to report misinformation on the Medicare Advantage (MA) program. The government regularly reviews all MA plans to ensure compliance and we consistently perform at the industry’s highest levels on those reviews. We are not aware of the “launch” of any “new” activity as reported by the Journal. We are aware, however, that the Journal has engaged in a year-long campaign to defend a legacy system that rewards volume over keeping patients healthy and addressing their underlying conditions. Any suggestion that our practices are fraudulent is outrageous and false.

More likely they were getting paid bigly for everything they prescribed. DOGE should look in to their bank accounts or look for offshore accounts...

Here comes the proggies and Dems to white knight for healthcare insurers.
Actually, judging from what I read here and elsewhere, it sounds like the right and left are on the same page when it comes to healthcare. What we have is a healthcare system that is rife with incompetence, inefficiency, corruption, bureaucratic bloat, and extreme costs that were caused in large part by... the govt. What everyone is demanding is more regulation, more bad incentives, more financial control of and ultimately destruction of any remaining vestiges of the private healthcare industry (providers, insurers, drug companies, hardware companies, etc.) . In other words, complete federal takeover of every aspect of healthcare.

and doctors
Doctors arent part of the problem. We are getting effed as hard as everyone else behind the scenes. These frickers owe me over 10 grand in unpaid claims for BS reasons.. we should unionize and refuse to be their goons any longer.. society can function without bloated corrupt healthcare companies… it cant without doctors

I would be extremely skeptical about anything that CNBC, or MSNBC, or CNN, or CBS, or ABC says. These are big corporate media outlets and lying to us is a big part of what they do.

SOME doctors are. I didn't say all. Medical Fraud should be some of the easiest fraud to catch yet it still happens.

Not surprisingly, CNBC is WRONG.
United is NOT the only insurance company employing MDs. My BF is a physician who owned her own practice. Because she made less and less money, and worked more and more hours, she left clinical practice and now works for CareFirst.

Glad to see it!
Being forced to switch a couple of years back from a Blue Cross branch, I can personally attest that UH is quite a bit worse.
I had never had a doctor's office refuse me an appointment until we got UH and the appointment maker said 'sorry, we don't take it.'

There is a lot of opportunity for nefariousness.
There is also an opportunity to detect diagnoses hospitals and doctors miss OR that patients refuse treatment for.
Americans are not healthy and do not go to the doctor like they should. There’s certainly waste and abuse by insurance but there is also a ton of fraud, waste, and abuse committed by corporate hospitals and independent physicians.
However, if Americans would aspire to healthier lifestyles or had not used employer-based insurance plans as free passes to go to the ER or for every little sniffle in the 80s-00s, we wouldn’t be here.
We really only have ourselves to blame.

How does an insurer add diagnoses to charts? They aren’t doctors. They just pay.
