  • (Reuters) - UnitedHealth Group said a mistake at the hospital was behind the phone call that led to a surgeon being pulled from the operating room to defend a patient's inpatient stay, a move that was eventually criticized by billionaire Bill Ackman.

The article from MSN discusses how UnitedHealth Group responded to criticism from billionaire investor Bill Ackman regarding a denied medical claim. UnitedHealth clarified that the issue stemmed from a hospital's error in coding the procedure, which led to the claim being denied. The insurer emphasized that this was not a case of denying coverage for medically necessary care but rather an administrative mistake by the hospital. UnitedHealth has since worked with the hospital to correct the coding, ensuring the patient's claim was processed correctly. This incident highlights the complexities and potential for errors in the medical billing and insurance claim processes.
