Why Providers Don't Get Paid When Their Clients 'Switch' Their Medicare Plans: Watch Out for United Health Care company

Watch OUT for this Medicare Advantage Plan: United Health Care  POB 29675 Hot Springs, AR 71903-9675.  If your client switches to this, according to paperwork I recently received from the company denying me ALL payments for sessions since the client switched, this is what has happened according to my very efficient, knowledgeable biller: 


"Hi Marsha -

> The new Medicare option plan that she is now on is denying stating she

> of Insurance, etc. but expect it to take a while.  "


Yipee!! More paperwork.
