A UnitedHealthcare member involved in a lawsuit over a car accident filed a motion requesting that the payer testify on ““[t]he maximum allowed contractual reimbursement rate [certain named medical providers] would receive from United Healthcare” for treatment related to the accident.
While the member only filed one claim with UnitedHealthcare related to the accident, she received care from several providers. The requested subpoena would request contracts between UnitedHealthcare and nine providers who treated the member.
However, the judge ruled that the request violated Texas Rules of Civil Procedure and denied the motion.
At the Becker's 5th Annual Fall Payer Issues Roundtable, taking place November 17–19 in Chicago, payer executives and healthcare leaders will come together to discuss value-based care, regulatory changes, cost management strategies and innovations shaping the future of payer-provider collaboration.
