  • UnitedHealthcare interrupted a cancer surgery to question if it was medically necessary, according to Dr. Elisabeth Potter in an Instagram video.
  • The surgery involved a bilateral DIEP flap procedure for a patient already under anesthesia when the call came in.
  • In her account, Potter faced frustration as the representative lacked access to the patient's full medical records, prompting her to scrub out of the surgery.

  • Critics argue that such practices emphasize profit over patient well-being, calling for regulatory reform in the healthcare industry.
