Megan Fan Munce: CEO of California’s third-largest home insurer says state will still be insurable after L.A. fires

"The ongoing Los Angeles wildfires are the pinnacle in a series of bad blazes that have plunged the state’s insurance market into a state of deep crisis.

But the CEO and president of the third largest home #insurance company in the state believes that #California, and its wildfires, are still insurable."

"I had to scrub out mid-surgery to call United, only to find that the person on the line didn't even have access to the patient's full medical information, despite the procedure already being pre-approved. It's beyond frustrating and, frankly, unacceptable. Patients and providers deserve better than this. We should be focused on care, not bureaucracy."

The insurance industry is just not making money, according to the Insurance Information Institute. In 2023, insurers paid out $1.11 in claims for every dollar they made in premiums. This year is expected to be the fifth year in a row with underwriting losses, the institute determined.

When these pressures mount to an intolerable level, insurers stop writing new policies, as companies have done in California, Florida and elsewhere.

EviCore, the Company Helping U.S. Health Insurers Deny Coverage for Treatments

"This article uses the case study of an insurance product linked to a health and wellbeing program—the Vitality scheme—as a lens to examine the limited regulation of collection and use of non-personal (de-identified/anonymised) information and the impacts it has on individuals, as well as society at large. Vitality is an incentive-based engagement program that mobilises online assessment tools, preventive health screening, and physical activity and wellness tracking through smart fitness technologies and apps. Vitality then uses the data generated through these activities, mainly in an aggregated, non-personal form, to make projections about changes in behaviour and future health outcomes, aiming at reducing risk in the context of health, life, and other insurance products. Non-personal data has been traditionally excluded from the scope of legal protections, and in particular privacy and data regimes, as it is thought not to contain information about specific, identifiable people, and thus its potential to affect individuals in any meaningful way has been understood to be minimal. However, digitalisation and ensuing ubiquitous data collection are proving these traditional assumptions wrong. We show how the response of the legal systems is limited in relation to non-personal information collection and use, and we argue that irrespective of the (possibly) beneficial nature of insurance innovation, the current lack of comprehensive regulation of non-personal data use potentially leads to individual, collective and societal data harms, as the example of the Vitality scheme illustrates."

Insurers’ denial rates are a critical measure of how reliably they pay for customers’ care. But they remain mostly secret to the public.

Federal and state regulators have done little to change that.

The problem with this article is that the #media hasn't been very empathetic here. This isn't a case of "white man kills family" and the photo is him jet skiing.

The media has actually been trying pretty hard to shame everyone who is being empathetic to him.

The empathy is coming from social media.

When an insurance company is deciding whether to pay for your medical treatment, it generates a file, which should contain all records associated with your case, including documents explaining why the claim was denied.

You have a right to see this file.

Y’all, not only are people being arrested nonsensically for terrorism because the healthcare industry suddenly realized that if you kick a dog enough, eventually it will bite you, apparently they’ve decided that the public should not have facts or data that may lead them to understand how badly the insurance industry is managing the health of Americans.

ValuePenguin, a data collection and analysis site, is the origin of the viral chart showing denial rates of claims to insurance. They were first contacted by a company who wanted them to take data down, then when they didn’t, law enforcement showed up.

Just in case you were wondering who controls the cops...it’s the capital class.

Here’s a deep dive into how insurance companies hide and prevaricate their data, so that people don’t realize what crooks they all are.

"Navigating The American Healthcare System" - South Park

This would be funny but it's a pretty accurate description of how private #HealthInsurance works in the US today.

The oldest trick in the book... make people "stand in line" long enough and they'll drop out or just go away. I used to tell my Medical Students "Insurance Companies are in the business of denying care."

I was once put on hold for 40 minutes only to have the "medical director" read my own chart back to me. The denial was reversed based on documentation they already had... the entire exercise was INTENDED to waste my time!
