Gary,

A couple of things I have found out about UHC from other people. UHC can really lose papers and misplace things so follow up is important with them. Take notice of making sure that they meet appeal deadlines. If they don't, you might be able to use that as ammonition against them.
Send items to them registered mail so you have proof they received it.
I have been involved in a long fight with my insurance company, Blue Cross of Ca. and if you want additional info PM me and you can reach me via my e-mail or telephone.
I have learned a lot in my insurance fight and would happily tell you what I know about insurance appeals. The insurance warrior was also helpful to me.
What kind of insurance you have also makes a big difference on how you approach the appeals.
It is frustrating but at least I was able to get my ADR surgery and that was a breakthrough. There is a lot of help out there for us; you have to do a lot of homework and leg work, though.
