Medical decisions are between a MD and a patient ONLY.
Insurance pays for what the doctor ordered, when ordered.
All prices, for all tests/supplies/meds/proceedures are public domain information, and can only be updated annually the first week of January.
MD's are forbidden from owning, wholly or in part, any establishment or business that supplies, provides service to, or that patients may be referred to, other than the MD's medical practice itself. This includes their family members.
Only IRS-qualified 'non-profits' can be medical insurers.
Insurance fraud is an automatic 20 years without parole.
I strongly suspect someday soon MAHA or someone similar will reveal that all these joint surgeries are a big money grubbing scam. We had a family member who had both knees done and ended up barely able to walk. I begged her not to have the hip replacement. That was it, she never walked another step without grasping a walker for dear life and eventually, a wheelchair. One of her siblings lost a leg after falling and the metal inside his knee tore his knee beyond repair. Another sibling fell and spent six months in a nursing home recovering from the damage to their knee and has very little ability to walk. I would crawl before I'd have one of those surgeries and, yes, hang onto my joint pain thank you.
I'm so sorry you had to go through this. In this family, it was like a greed thing. Insurance paid tens of thousands so it was like their attitude was, "Wow, free joints! I'll take six!" I've been lucky. I'm pretty much head to toe with arthritis but physical therapy a few times has helped a lot for most things. The other amazing thing to me is all of them were pretty obese, yet I've been told doctors are supposed to get patients to lose weight before doing these surgeries. Otherwise they are bound to get blown out quickly. Not one of them was given that advice.
Back in the 90's, my then neighbor worked for The Hartford Insurance as a claims manager. His bonus was based on the number and $ of claims denied. His conscience eventually took over and he quit.
So they are suing UH for finally obeying contractual agreements? Is this not admitting their investment is based on defrauding their customers? What kind of clown world fuckshit is this?
I don’t want to leave though, I just want the kingdom of Heaven to come to earth. Then we get all kinds of benefits and darkness must flee and leave us to manage all the things we thought lost like MIT etc. Revival can change everything, including our way of thinking.
Fixing healthcare in the US is simple.
Problem solved.

Not an attorney, but that smells like extortion.
'That's a nice hip you have there. Be a shame if something happened to it, by not treating it.'
I cannot hate both Black Rock and Insurers enough...
Exactly....
