Nation's largest Insurer, United Health Group, May Be Hit With $1.3 Billion Fine Over Delay in Paying Claims
UnitedHealth Group Insurance Company may be forced to pay upwards of $1.3 billion by California authorities for systematically failing to pay medical claims in a timely manner. UnitedHealth is suspected of having committed some 130,000 violations and was in fact sanctioned last year.
UnitedHealth blames their failure to promptly pay medical claims on administrative issues and on corporate acquisitions. California regulators maintain that they have received more complaints from UnitedHealth than any other health insurance provider.
Unfortunately, failing to timely pay insurance claims or denial of insurance claims altogether is extremely common and such delay of payment or denial of claims can lead to major problems, including death, as was discussed in the latest Michael Moore movie, 'Sicko".
If you or a loved one is an insured and has experienced a denial of a claim by your health insurance provider, I would invite you to visit my website, www.samlevine.com or contact my office, Sam Levine, Attorney at Law.
