Please pass this around to spread virally. This comes from a physician I know personally. She is doing Direct Primary Care. She used to bill insurance companies but opted out from them over a year ago! This means all of 2016. Obviously, she has not seen one United patient but is somehow rated as a QUALITY CARE PHYSICIAN by their “designation.”
This is why “quality” ratings are a crock and not to be believed.

UHC isn’t the only one to come up with “measurements” not based on any actual “measurement”. I was issued an “evaluation” from the state of Missouri, that stated that most of my quality assurement criteria were met at “better than average”, but I had fallen short on 2: I had done only one pelvic exam (out of 4 expected) and 2 breast exams (out of 4 expected). I am a dermatologist. I had not done ANY breast or pelvic exams during the measurement period. I informed them of this, but never heard back. I have not received an “evaluation” since.
And what the hell does pending mean?
On top of their chronic inability to process claims correctly (30% error rate, always in their favor), we’re now dealing with the yearly January clown show of United having absolutely no idea of who their enrollees are or what their benefits cover. And these dipshits think they can measure quality?
