America’s hospitals and health systems are deeply concerned by UnitedHealthcare’s (UHC) recent policy announcement to allow for the retroactive denial of coverage for emergency-level care in facilities. This policy would put patients’ health and wellbeing in jeopardy, and we urge you to reverse the policy immediately.
