: My spouse and I pay over $300.00 in monthly premium, only to have United Healthcare disallow $1,400 on a nationally-recommended, routine diagnostic colonoscopy! Now that I know they are in the business of micro-management insanity I will wait until I'm dying from colon cancer so the tab to United Healthcare will make the $1400 seem like chump change to the micromanagement chumps who make these penny-wise, pound-foolish denials of prudent, preventive health activities by those of us who are really paying the tab in ridiculously high premiums - the damn consumers!

Was this test ordered by a physican as ROUTINE, or did he have a reason to have the test done??

In other words, was the test "medically necessary?"
