[quote=Anonymous]I’m not saying I agree with UHC’s new policy, but I don’t know that it’s any different from what other insurers do. I have BCBS and they only seem to cover stuff in the ER if it turns out to have been an actual emergency. For example, I once went to the ER on a Sunday with a UTI that had gotten bad over the weekend. This was before UCs we’re all over the place, and Reiter-Hill wouldn’t give me antibiotics when I saw them that Friday because my rapid test had been negative. (So glad I’m no longer their patient.) Anyway, I knew I was taking a risk that it wouldn’t be covered, but I was just too miserable to care. Sure enough, BCBS made me foot the whole bill. Another time I went there because I was seeing flashes of light and thought it might be a detached retina. The ER physician couldn’t see my retina very well ended up sending me to an opthamologist. I paid the whole bill for that one, too. [/quote]
