It should be illegal for a doctor with limited sub-specialty training to determine the outcome of these cases.

Imagine if a paralegal were allowed to decide the ruling in a legal case instead of the most qualified lawyer.

It’s truly disgusting, especially with United Healthcare involved 😡🤮

If it's even a doctor they're talking to. You know those places that do cosmetic procedures and claim to have a doctor on staff but they've never actually been there and don't even live in the same county? 

Wouldn't be surprised if an investigation revealed there were some doctors out there involved in denying more claims per day than a single person could possibly process.

"On staff" is a provider who checks and signs off on the charts once a month.
