Ohio Health and United Healthcare dispute
Last week 10TV had a blurb about the dispute between Ohio Health and United Healthcare Insurance.
United Healthcare told 10tv a letter was sent explaining the dispute, when in reality they sent letters to people telling them their doctor would no longer be in United Healthcare Network and they would need to find a new doctor or pay extra out of pocket costs.

I just saw my doctor today just incase what United Healthcare said was true. Doctor Schumacher is very upset over this whole debacle. He is an independent contractor with United Healthcare Insurance. He is now wondering how much those letters sent by United Healthcare may have hurt his business. To me it would seem quite a bit since there were no patients sitting in his waiting room when we were there.
Has United Healthcare once again crossed a line of the law?
