There’s few in traditional #medicare. @aetna is the @NYCMayor choice with the highest denial rate and why @UFT #mulgrew wants to have separate death panel to review denials.

| 1638464064408940544 | Let’s dig deeper at Big Healthcare marketing of @aetna & @UFTUnity: Wow. 690k docs in their networks! But they won’t tell you 1. Not all of these doctors take Medicare Advantage. 2. There are nearly 1.1 million doctors in U.S. Much less than 1/2 https://t.co/qGyBgdmiJg… https://t.co/hHxENeR38K https://t.co/qYYHisnJK4 | 10 |
