Find a new healthcare partner?

Why are you guys still in bed with UHC? When the killer of their CEO becomes a folk hero, shouldn't you folks get the hint that maybe the partnership with UHC might be a bit toxic? Are you folks that tone-deaf?Not a good look for you, that's for sure. I'm looking for Medicare and dental supplement plans, but your partnership with a company that uses AI to deny claims, that has the highest denial rate in the industry, gives me pause. Will you be partnering with other providers than UHC soon? I'd like to know.

If by "supplemental plan" you mean a supplement, are you aware that UHC's claims and denial practices don't have anything to do with supplements, and have no effect on supplement holders? The supplement can't deny anything.

I just received my mid year bill along with my wife’s, both with over a 10% increase from a company under investigation for Medicare fraud. You can do better, and quit asking me for more donations.. the money is going to pay my gap insurance at UHC.

10% is actually pretty mild for the increase people are getting this year. 20% is not uncommon, and it's many supplements, not just AARP/UHC.
