So an insurance company gatekeeper who identified themself as a nurse told me, an oncologist, that they didn’t need to provide an oncologist to review my patient’s denial, that “any of their doctors” could do so
So I asked them if they or their loved one were diagnosed with cancer, did that mean they wouldn’t want to see an oncologist (cancer specialist), as “any doctor” would do?

Propublica Article: Denial of Medical Claims
/All,
I am sharing Dr. Linden's post below with permission.
You may also wish to see her opinion article from October 22nd in the
Delaware Bay to Bay News in which she primarily outlines deterioration
to medical care through the intrusion of big business. She also ties
the future of medical care to election results:

There is an excellent article in yesterday's Propublica about how
companies like Unitedhealthcare, Cigna, and Aetna are using affiliated
companies like Evicore to deny tens of millions of claims a year.
It is unclear in the article whether this includes mental health claims.
However it is relevant to our own medical insurance and that of our clients.
I urge you to read the whole article
