I don't understand why anyone would stay on this plan. This isn't about improving quality of care, it's about restricting access and adding more friction to prevent patients from getting the testing that they need. Get off this plan now. VP Erik Johnson can suck a fat one.
As a healthcare provider it is very frustrating to see the downward trend that Connecticare has taken over the past several years. Idk if it's because of funding issues but they have become much more aggressive with issuing denials even for patients with legitimate reasons to undergo testing. I have someone who is elderly with risk factors for heart disease who cannot safely walk on a treadmill and instead of allowing for any other testing they are pushing for a treadmill test and denying all other options. Whoever they have put in charge of reviewing these cases is downright an idiot and I would not be surprised if we see more acute events occurring in patients on this plan, which will end up costing the system a lot more money than if they would allow appropriate testing in the first place.
