Dear Mr. Thompson:
The undersigned organizations write to express deep concerns about UnitedHealthcare’s (UHC) new
policy to allow for the retroactive denial of coverage for emergency care, which will have serious medical
consequences for patients. While we understand that UHC has since announced a temporary delay of
implementation for it until at least the end of the COVID-19 public health emergency, we write to urge
you to rescind these policies permanently, and to express our belief that there is a better way to ensure
that patients access the right care, in the right place, at the right time. We invite you to work together
with us on these efforts.
