Southwoods confirmed that United Healthcare (UHC) denied an authorization request for **************** to have a spinal stimulator inserted as a covered benefit under his insurance plan. The timing of the final determination exceeded typical processing times as UHCs administrative offices requested a peer-to-peer review to confirm its position.
This was again explained to the patient, but **************** stated, I dont accept how long it took and Im not going to accept it and Im going to keep complaining.
He then hung up the phone.
