    It’s my understanding that a doctor, employed by the insurance agency, makes these calls.

      A doctor who has never seen the patient and often isn’t even the specialty needed to make the call.

      If an insurance company denys you, demand to know the name, speciality, and license number of the doctor who denied you. Often a doctor wasn’t involved. And when you find that out it’s illegal.

      If only those “doctors” had to put their malpractice insurance on the line when making these calls. Bet you’d have a lot less of this bullshit when the people making the call are liable instead of getting paid to kill people.

          A doctor is only allowed to be a doctor when they took the Hippocratic Oath. They will lose it when they would give up people their lives for the profits of an insurance company. Doctors do not work for them, the people judging whether they will payout your insurance claim have no medical training.
