One thing the others answering you aren’t saying is, if an insurance company overrules your physician, in general they need a physician of their own who can name medical cause to deny. I knew a guy who did this for a living. He was a board certified physician. He had practiced medicine for 15 years before working for an insurance company, and they required 10 years experience minimum. His pay is not linked to denying claims.

So while this is definitely a problematic system, it’s not quite as bad as “we done feel like paying so get screwed”.

It is linked as if he approved every claim he would be fired. I worked for a health insurance company as a nurse I quit as it was not ethical.
