Finally the weekend is over. You recall from an old listing that a highly

Of course Myrna James in the grievance department is moved by the standard

Myrna James on 21 July, in the same email she advised of her many efforts to

Please understand, she wrote, we are in the business of helping all of our

it was a Freudian slip. We are kind to kin and others health care cares for. In
anycase,thehumaneintentionofthemessagewasclear.Yes,aclaimwasbeing
solicited from a dentist whom she knew was not a provider, a fact that had
already led to a blank denial of my claim. So here was a responsible company

not have Dr. Mereos do the crown right away and refit the denture, I shall lose

Indeed, I was become quite suspicious of Solstice, which provides insurance in


several states under that brand name, and had included its president and
beneficialownerMichaelFlax,aprominentdentist,withacopyofmygrievance.

I checked with Judy at Dr. Mereos office to discover that she had in fact

AndthenMyrnaJamesweighedin,reversingherselfon31Julywiththiscasuistry:

The request for the claim from the office of Dr. Mereos is only so we could

that by requesting the claim we were considering in approving your claim, I
apologize. That was never my intention. Once the claim is received and
processed,itwilldenyforservicesrenderedbyanOutofNetworkProvider.

All that and more from an insurance company that advertises itself as receiving
rewards as the BEST around. That may very well be true, and is indicative of
what is wrong with not only health insurance but government in this country:
mismanagement. Managed health care was supposed to provide better health
care and save money to boot, but mismanaged managed health care is costing

AVERIGUARSOLESTICE

July31,2017fromDavidArthurWalterstoSolstice

Madame Myrna James: With all due respect, you are not listening, or are
exhibiting the denial and blaming mode, in collusion with the Solstice
representative,whoprovided mewith misinformationaboutnetworkproviders.
That representative initially provided me with a list of providers that did not
include a preferred provider four blocks from my house, and listed only one
providerin33139,whowasnotavailablefortheemergency.Theadminforthat
preferredprovider,whoreceivedacopyofthatlistfromme,didnotknowwhy
the provider was dropped from the list. My regular dentist, Dr. Mereos, who is
not in the network, however, was ready to take me right away. I went for the
immediately relief, and on the same day the admin for the preferred provider
called me to say that she had done some checking, and yes, come over for the
emergency because that group was in the network. Too late I was out $1,100
out of pocket for the root canal. I told your representative that he had cost me
$1,100withthenewlistandhisrhetoricabout howdentistscomeandgofrom
thenetwork,andthatafterhehadthenameofthepreferrednetworkprovider.
Oh, no apology came from him, just here is the right list, and it is all your fault
becauseyouareresponsible.Wrong.Well,soyousaidyoucontactedDr.Mereos
for a claim, leading me to believe that you are therefore going to waive the
networkrequirement,Iwaitedaweek,withwhatnowappearstobeafalsesense
ofsecurity,afteradvisingyouthatImaylosethetooth,crucialtomyholdingmy

behavior in my opinion is very unprofessional and incompetent, unlike what I
would expect from United Healthcare. David Originally sent by

.TherewereotherproviderslistedontheProviderlistingsenttoyou.Thelistof
Providers sent is within a 15 mile radius which is a reasonable and customary
distance to seek treatment. Again, it was your decision to go to an Out of
Network Provider even after providing you a list of InNetwork Providers. The
second list provided was a narrowed list including only dentists within a 5mile
radius.AsImayrecall,yourrequestdidnotspecifyadistanceorevenazipcode.
We used the zip code we have on file for you and as I explained before, the
defaultdistanceinoursystemforProviderSearchis15mileradiusandthatwas

moreontheProvidersthathadlefttheNetwork.Withallduerespect,thereason
why a Provider departs from a network is not information we are always

The request for the claim from the office of Dr. Mereos is only so we could
process the claim and provide you with a formal document which explains the
processingofyourclaim.However,Dr.Mereosisnotrequiredtosubmittheclaim
asheisOutofNetwork.Icalledhisofficeonyourbehalfasacourtesy.Ifyoufelt
