My complaint is that United/Medicare Supplement changed its list of approved hospitals effective July 1. Their letter says that even if Medicare pays for the inpatient stay, they will not pay their part if the stay is not in one of their approved hospitals. NO hospitals in the Charlotte area are on the list. Neither Atrium nor Novant are on the list — the two largest Medical Systems in NC> Only small hospitals are on the list. Except for Winston Salem Baptist and Wake Med. There are no major medical centers on the list. Any hospital on the list is at least an hour away. Our physicians work for Atrium and Novant. They do not practice at these outlying hospitals. How can they be allowed to change their policy in the middle of the year? How can they be allowed to exclude major hospital systems? I cannot change plans for 6 months. So, I am paying their supplement rates for nothing!
