UnitedHealthcare to remove prior authorization for 30% of services

United Healthcare, the nation's largest private health insurer covering more than 50 million patients, recently announced that it will drop prior authorization (PA) for some services. These include some outpatient operations, diagnostic tests such as echocardiograms, outpatient therapies, and chiropractic care by the end of 2026.

The linked article reports that according to an AMA survey, 93% of physicians reported that PA delayed care for patients.

The legal fund’s owner/created by has changed

I just checked the legal fund’s page and the campaign owner was changed to Elizabeth J from the December 4th committee.
I think it happened very recently, does anyone have more information about this?

Pack It Up: Will the Judge’s May 18 Decision Make Mangione’s Evidence Disappear?

This article does a good job of breaking down and explaining the defense/prosecution arguments on suppression issues. Highly reccommend reading it to get a good understanding of what Judge Carro is going to be ruling on, and if you don't want to read through 100+ pages of legal arguments.

I'm soooo curious and anxious to see what decision he made. Monday cannot come fast enough.

What are some other reasons some of you follow this case, other than criticism of Healthcare in America?

my apologies if this has been asked before.

I have seen many people in this sub share experiences with their health insurance company, and I follow this case because I have a mother who has cancer and constantly deals with insurance, but I also wonder about other people that no doubt lurk on this sub, don't comment as much, and have an interest in the case.

for example, is there anybody who has been affected by a crime in any way, whether it be serving jury duty on a case, being a victim of it, or working a government job that involves the law in some way? I know there's a possibility of people who knew LM or his family lurking in here as well, but also, are there any people in here that knew BT or his family personally? or have friends that do?

those that have followed this from the very beginning, how has your opinion/stance on the case changed in anyway since pretrial motions, the suppression hearings, more evidence that has come out, etc...?

I'm asking this because i'm genuinely curious and would like some refreshing conversation. also, since it's been pretty quiet in the case these past few weeks I think this could give us more to discuss, until we know the decision on the evidence on the 18th, which may very well change the direction of the trial greatly.

greatly appreciate any input!

It’s already May 6 where I am, so that officially makes it Luigi’s birthday.

Luigi has touched so many lives and continues to do so. His resilience has brought a lot of people together.

Today we also reached $1.5M for his legal fund, and it’s still growing (thanks Carl and everyone else who donated!).

I wanted to make a small appreciation post for anyone who’d like to leave a special message for him today.

Please keep things respectful. Thank you.

And don’t forget to keep supporting his legal fund:

Happy Birthday, Luigi 🧡!
