It would seem that the letters sent out by United Healthcare may be a ploy to get people to complain about Ohio Health.

Instead it looks as though United Healthcare’s plan has back fired.

“G/RMH Reference Lab Continues to Accept United Health Care (UHC)
United Health Care’s recent announcement for a national lab contract does not impact the relationship between Grant/Riverside Laboratories and UHC.  United patients can continue to use our reference lab without any additional out of pocket expense. For more information contact Maggie Cochrun at 614-566-4161. “

It seems that 10TV has not searched for the whole story on the United Healthcare and Ohio Health contract dispute.

United Healthcare said they sent a certain letter to their customers when in fact they have sent a totally different letter to some of their customers.

 The letter we received concerning this stated;

“While we regret any inconveniences that may occur, effective 6/10/2008, (dr name) will no longer participate in the UnitedHealthcare Network.”

This is a totally different letter from what United Healthcare told 10TV what they sent.

Another thing that is of suspect is our doctor was not informed that he would no longer be in the United Healthcare network!

Something stinks of a dogpile here.
